Bears quarterback Justin Fields and receiver DJ Moore came out to prove the doubters wrong quickly in the first quarter on Thursday night vs. the Commanders.
Within the first three minutes, Fields and Moore put Chicago on the scoreboard thanks to the receiver hauling in a deep pass for a 58-yard gain. Moore later scored a 20-yard touchdown to put the Bears up 7–0 after one drive.
Two Bears drives later, Moore added to the Bears’ tally by scoring an 11-yard touchdown.
In the first quarter alone, Moore totaled 126 yards and one touchdown on just four catches. The second touchdown came right after the second quarter started.
Fans couldn’t believe what they were seeing on Thursday Night Football as the Bears entered the game with an 0–4 record, underscored by multiple brutal losses.
Fields and Moore’s duo performance sparked a lot of social media reaction, including from Lakers star LeBron James.
