Chicago Bears: DJ Moore reacts to parting message

NFL: DJ Moore reposts Chicago Bears’ tribute after trade to the Buffalo Bills

The Bears honored their hardworking former wide receiver with a touching video tribute celebrating his time in a Chicago uniform. 

The Instagram post featured a graphic and a heartfelt message.

“For your hard work, your dedication to the community and of course, THAT catch. Thank you, DJ,” posted the Bears. 

The tribute nodded to Moore’s iconic 46-yard game-winning touchdown catch in overtime against the Green Bay Packers on Dec. 20. That epic play sealed a 22-16 Bears victory at Soldier Field.

Moore appreciated the kind gesture. He reposted the tribute via Instagram stories, adding a folded hands emoji, a shooting star and a peace sign. 

It was a fitting final exchange between a player and a franchise that gave each other plenty to remember.

Moore’s time in Chicago was brief but left a lasting mark. Over three seasons, he appeared in all 51 regular-season games and remained a dependable weapon.

When quarterback Caleb Williams took the keys to Ben Johnson’s offense, Moore shone even more. He notched 50 receptions, 682 yards and six touchdowns in his final year in a Bears uniform. 

Both sides now move forward with purpose. Moore heads to Buffalo with familiar faces and a fresh opportunity. The Bears charge ahead with a rising core and championship ambitions.
