It did not take D.J. Moore long to show why he will become Justin Field’s No. 1 wide receiver option in the 2023 NFL season.
Moore, the former Panthers wideout who was part of the blockbuster deal that sent the No. 1 pick in the ’23 draft from the Bears to the Panthers, caught a screen pass from Fields and took it 62 yards to the end zone to give Chicago its first touchdown of the game.
Moore’s spectacular touchdown reception capped a three-play, 75-yard drive to begin the Bears’ scoring in their first preseason game. In the next Chicago possession, Fields connected on another short pass to Khalil Herbert for a 56-yard touchdown reception to end his day.
