Wagers made after the start of this game will be cancelled.
Background:
This will NOT settle for yes if a kick appears to have simply been "muffed", such as an incomplete hike of a ball, or a kicker bobbles the ball and then laterals it to another player, or the recovery of a multiple fumble, will only settle for yes if a team takes the field in a typical kicking formation and then deliberately does something other than kick the ball which results in a first down, for them.

anyhow, i know that the Bears coach likes to pull out at least one trick play per game, and with the Bears special teams being so good he isn't afraid to let them try things. I would be pretty surprised if no one managed to get a first down this year.
I would be more concerned about the reporting of it. While there will be many games to watch, seems like it will be the first identified source to report on this happening to settle.
Good luck!
