DJ Moore reveals big change for Chicago Bears’ offense

Ahead of the rematch with the NFC North rival Minnesota Vikings, Bears wide receiver DJ Moore opened up about what has been fueling Williams’ success as a runner and its impact on Chicago’s offense.

“I think he got the green light to go ahead and use his legs more,” Moore told reporters after Chicago’s win over the Giants. “Because teams are playing like the two-mans, quarters and man-to-mans, so he can just be able to get out there with his legs and be another weapon.”

Moore’s revelation seems to suggest that Williams’ breakout is as much –if not more, an indication of Johnson’s playcalling and trust in his quarterback than it is the former Heisman Trophy winner merely improvising on the field.

Williams’ legs aren’t just padding the stat sheet, or bolstering his reputation as a rising quarterback across the league, the former No. 1 pick’s mobility has become a driving force.

Sunday, Williams scrambled out of the pocket before sprinting downfield for the game-winning touchdown to clinch his fourth fourth-quarter comeback of the season, and his ability to evade pressure may hold the biggest key to the Bears getting some revenge over the Vikings Sunday.

How Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores adjusts, and how effective Minnesota is at containing Williams, could be telling for how the Bears’ offense takes shape down the stretch.
