Cole Kmet and 2 Bears fans combined for an elaborate, hilarious home run TD celebration

Cole Kmet Bears

There haven’t been a lot of bright spots to start the 2023 season for the 0-4 Chicago Bears. So, sometimes, you have to strain to see the positives and just laugh where you can.

Tight end Cole Kmet’s elaborate touchdown celebration from this past Sunday is a perfect example. After scoring for the first time all season, Kmet winded up his now signature “home run” move, where he swings an invisible bat with vigor as if he knocked one out of the park. Except on this occasion, Kmet appeared to plan out his celebration in advance, looping in two Bears fans hanging out in the back of the end zone.

Before Kmet swung, one of them “pitched” a ball to him. When Kmet mashed it into the stands, the other pretended they were trying to scale Chicago’s end zone wall to rob him of the “dinger.”

Naturally, the results came out better than the trio probably thought:

Oh yeah, there’s no way that happened on the fly. I can’t confirm it for certain, but Kmet had to have had a conversation with these two gentlemen in advance to be ready should he have reached the end zone. Right? That worked out almost too perfectly.

And I’m really glad he did. That’s one fantastic way to get the crowd involved and have some fun amidst grim circumstances.

This is how Twitter reacted
