Bears use trickeration with D.J. Moore to score first against Lions

The 4-8 Chicago Bears are just trying to make the rest of their season moderately relevant at this point, and they got off to a nice start Sunday against the Detroit Lions on their first drive. Quarterback Justin Fields had runs of 11 and 13 yards, and then, with 10:22 left in the first quarter, the call was for a direct snap to receiver D.J. Moore, a fake to Fields, and a scamper around the left edge for a 16-yard touchdown.

It’s Moore’s first rushing touchdown during his time with the Bears, who traded for him this offseason in the blockbuster deal that allowed the Carolina Panthers to select quarterback Bryce Young first overall. Moore had 17 rushing touchdowns in five seasons with the Panthers.
