In a thrilling NFL game, DJ Moore delivered a spectacular performance that led the Bears to their first victory of the season. This happened on Thursday night at FedExField.
Moore, a seasoned receiver, had a standout game where he caught eight passes for a whopping 230 yards and scored three touchdowns. This incredible performance propelled the Bears to an impressive 40-20 win against the Washington Commanders. The 230 receiving yards were a personal career best for Moore and ranked as the second-highest in Bears history, only trailing Alshon Jeffery's 249 yards from a 2013 game in Minnesota.
The first quarter saw Moore making four catches for 126 yards and a touchdown, setting the tone for the Bears' dominant performance. He continued his exceptional play by adding another touchdown in the second quarter, helping the Bears establish a commanding 27-3 lead at halftime. As the Commanders attempted to mount a comeback, Moore sealed the victory with a spectacular 56-yard touchdown reception with just 4:09 left on the clock.
Justin Fields, the Bears' quarterback, also had an outstanding game. He threw four touchdown passes for the second consecutive game, completing 15 of 29 passes for 282 yards without any turnovers. Fields showcased his versatility by rushing for 57 yards on 11 carries, contributing significantly to the team's success.
The Bears' defense played a crucial role in this victory, recording a season-high five sacks and forcing two takeaways.
During the first half of the game, the Bears were dominant on both offense and defense. Their offense scored on all five of its possessions, highlighted by three touchdown passes from Fields. On the other hand, the defense limited the Commanders to a mere 84 yards and did not allow a single first down until the Bears had already built a 17-0 lead early in the second quarter.
Although the Commanders mounted a comeback in the second half, narrowing the score to 30-20, DJ Moore once again demonstrated his brilliance with a spectacular play to secure the win. Moore leaped over cornerback Kendall Fuller to make a stunning catch and then sprinted 56 yards down the left sideline for another touchdown.
This victory marked the end of a 14-game losing streak for the Bears, dating back to the previous year.
The Bears took an early 7-0 lead in the game's opening possession when Fields connected with Moore for a 20-yard touchdown pass. This drive covered 75 yards in just six plays, featuring a pivotal 58-yard completion from Fields to Moore on a crucial third-and-9 from the Chicago 26-yard line.
The Bears' defense followed this up by forcing a three-and-out from the Commanders, with Andrew Billings sacking running back Brian Robinson Jr. for a one-yard loss on third-and-one from the Commanders' 34-yard line.
Cairo Santos added to the Bears' lead with a 22-yard field goal, making it 10-0 after Khalil Herbert's spectacular 34-yard run to the Washington 13-yard line. Herbert's elusive move left cornerback Emmanuel Forbes Jr. baffled.
In the first quarter, the Bears dominated in total yards (199-12) and first downs (7-0).

The Commanders managed to score their first points with Joey Slye's 51-yard field goal in the middle of the second quarter, cutting the deficit to 17-3. However, the Bears responded promptly with Santos' 36-yard field goal, expanding their lead to 20-3 just before halftime.
On the next play from scrimmage, Greg Stroman Jr. intercepted a pass from Sam Howell at the Washington 36-yard line with 2:19 left in the second quarter. Fields capitalized on this turnover with a 4-yard touchdown pass to Cole Kmet, giving the Bears a commanding 27-3 lead with only 24 seconds remaining in the half.
In the second half, the Commanders staged a comeback by scoring 17 points in the third quarter, cutting the lead to 27-11 after Howell threw a 2-yard touchdown pass to Logan Thomas and ran for a two-point conversion.

The Bears quickly regained their momentum as Santos nailed a 43-yard field goal, extending their lead to 30-14 early in the fourth quarter. This was set up by Moore turning a short pass into a 32-yard gain to reach the Washington 31-yard line.
Howell threw a 3-yard touchdown pass to Curtis Samuel, narrowing the deficit to 30-20 with 10:51 left in the fourth quarter. However, the Bears' defense stopped the two-point conversion attempt, maintaining their two-score lead.
The Commanders had an opportunity to make it a one-score game, but Slye missed a 46-yard field goal attempt wide right with 5:11 remaining in the fourth quarter.
