The connection between Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields and wide receiver D.J. Moore continues to get better and better.
The duo provided an impressive highlight during Wednesday’s organized team activities (OTAs) that will likely be a preview of what’s to come this fall.
During team drills, Fields dropped back and delivered a perfect pass across the middle to Moore, who was double-covered by cornerback Kyler Gordon and linebacker T.J. Edwards. The pass was just beyond Gordon to hit Moore right in the hands to score a touchdown in the end zone.

While the team has yet to practice in pads, let alone play in a game, the chemistry between Fields and Moore on the field has been evident since offseason programs began. Players, coaches, and reporters have all commented on their connection after seeing the two up close.
Moore was acquired from the Carolina Panthers in March in a trade surrounding the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. The 26-year old receiver has 5,201 receiving yards and 21 touchdowns in his career and is the new unquestioned WR1 for the Bears.
Wednesday’s practice highlight should be a preview of what’s to come when the regular season begins and it already has fans salivating over the potential these two players have.
