Bears lay it on the line vs. Commanders’ dominant front four

Asked for his favorite play from his 335-yard, four-touchdown game against the Broncos — a play that indicated growth as a quarterback — Justin Fields didn’t hesitate. 

“I think the third-and-nine to DJ,” Fields said, referring to a quick-reflex dart to DJ Moore from midfield with a free edge rusher bearing down on him for an 11-yard gain and a first down on a third-quarter touchdown drive. “We went on two, but my boy Lucas [center Lucas Patrick] blacked out and snapped it on the first set-go, so that’s why we had some guys unblocked. That was one play I could take away from Sunday that I liked for sure.”
