Former Missouri football wide receiver, Luther Burden III, scored his first NFL career touchdown against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. The Bears had a 7-3 lead as coach Ben Johnson called for the "flea flicker" trick play.

Bears running back D'Andre Smith tossed the ball back to quarterback Caleb Williams at the Bears' own 35-yard line, and Williams turned to find Burden III wide for a 65-yard touchdown. Burden III was wide open as Dallas safety Malik Hooker could not catch up to him. The touchdown extended the Bears' lead to 14-3., Williams' pass went 62.1 yards in the air, the longest completion in the NFL this season, and Williams' longest completion of his NFL career. Burden III tallied three passes for 101 yards in the game.
