For the two-and-a-half years they’ve been together, receiver Darnell Mooney has considered himself to be of Justin Fields’ most vocal supporters. So it was no surprise Friday when he stuck up for the Bears quarterback who two days earlier had singled out coaching for a reason he felt he was playing too robotic — and later tried to chide the media for reporting his very words.
“I think he was more frustrated with what everything turned out, with the coaching in quotation marks,” Mooney said. “Other than that, no. I think he’s good, I think we’re good. And we’ll be fine. … It’s Week 2. Chill out.”
