Chicago Bears top wide receiver D.J. Moore helped his winless team get off to a hot start against the Washington Commanders, collecting two touchdowns in just over 15 minutes.
The Chicago Bears, winless in their last 18 games, came out firing against the Washington Commanders on Thursday night, and top wide receiver D.J. Moore was the key reason why the score was 27-3 at halftime. Bears quarterback Justin Fields had a career game last week against the Denver Broncos despite the loss, and he continued that momentum on the first drive of the game when he found Moore for a 58-yard bomb down the left sideline to Washington’s 16-yard line.
But Moore wasn’t done making it hurt in the first quarter. The Bears quickly got the ball back after forcing a three-and-out on the Commanders, and the Fields-Moore combo was on full display yet again. To begin the drive, Moore ran a simple curl route where Fields put it right on his chest for a completion. It looked like the Commanders corner that was covering Moore was going to take him down the second he caught the ball.
However, the tackle was poor and Moore made Washington pay. He slipped the tackle and hit the jets down the right sideline for a 39-yard completion instead of the seven yards he was expected to get. That fired up the Bears who continued moving the ball down the field into Washington territory. On 3rd-and-6 on Washington’s 11, Fields trusted Moore once more, lofting a fade pass to the back of the end zone.
Moore and the rest of the offense will do what it can in the second half to secure that victory.
