With his Chicago Bears facing a third-and-three, Allen Robinson caught a pass that appeared to seal the victory over the San Francisco 49ers.

But that changed really quick.

Rather than go to the ground, Robinson tried to make even more out of the play. Tarvarius Moore — who was in the game replacing the ejected Richard Sherman — popped the ball out from behind. It was recovered by Greg Maybin.

Any fumble is bad. But Robinson’s was worse, as he simply could have gone to the ground and clinched the game.

Chicago’s defense did bail Robinson out, locking the game up on San Francisco’s ensuing possession. But even with the win, Robinson will not enjoy the film session.
