All thanks to Justin Fields and DJ Moore being perfectly in tune.
Fields and Moore connected eight times for 230 yards and three touchdowns to give the embattled Bears their first win of the season, beating the Washington Commanders 40-20 Thursday night, hours after word emerged of the death of franchise great Dick Butkus.
“We just needed a win, get the mojo going in our favor,” Moore said.
All the off-field drama the organization has been mired in for weeks melted away in the moments of celebration.
“That’s on me.”LONG DISTANCEChicago got its four longest plays of the season: 58-, 39-yard and 56-yard completions from Fields to Moore and a 34-yard run by Khalil Herbert.
