Browns survive Bears Hail Mary on wild, near-catch by Darnell Mooney: 'Damn near s— myself' There was no time for a play and a field goal without any timeouts to try for a shorter kick. Chicago's only hope of winning the game — and keeping its surging playoff trending up — would rest on a Hail Mary, a play so dubbed because it takes a miracle to succeed. The Bears nearly had their miracle. The ball had the distance and it was tipped in the air several times and began to fall into the arms of Bears receiver Darnell Mooney, who was falling toward the endzone turf. He had his hands on it as it began to fall into his chest. The ball deflected off his hands and legs and ultimately into the waiting hands of safety D'Anthony Bell, who made the catch and slid to the ground to end the game and seal the Browns' 20-17 win. "It would've been crazy," Mooney said after the game. "I mean, how many times you see a Hail Mary work and actually fall into, being able to make the catch?

The future of DC movies in 2022 and beyond The DC Extended Universe, as DC Comics’ movie and TV line was originally called, has gone through some major growing pains since it launched with Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel in 2013. Looking for ways to compete with Marvel Comics’ massively popular Marvel Cinematic Universe, DC has repeatedly switched tracks and tactics on the DCEU, sometimes steering toward a single interconnected universe, then backtracking into a more director-driven plan where movies like Todd Phillips’ Joker could be made without fitting into any specific previous continuity. In 2023, the Snyderverse is coming to an end, slowly rolling to a halt with movies like Shazam! Fury of the Gods, The Flash, and Blue Beetle, all leading up to the grand finale of Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. Once the last bits of the DCEU make their way to theaters, it will be time to usher in a new era of DC movies.
