D.J. Moore reveals playoff magic after dramatic comeback win, comparing the unforgettable victory to a movie scene.
Saturday night is going to be a game that fans of the Chicago Bears will remember for quite some time.
Chicago took down the Green Bay Packers and pulled off another incredible comeback win. This time, it was in the Wild Card round of the playoffs.
The Bears were down at halftime 21-3, needing to play their best football in the second half. Chicago held Green Bay to six points in the second half and put up 28 points offensively for a 31-27 win.
The game was a special one for the Bears faithful, but even more so for receiver D.J. Moore. The receiver finished with 64 receiving yards and had the go-ahead touchdown late in the fourth quarter, which was arguably the most important of the game.
Moore said afterwards that the game felt like a movie, with Soldier Field seeing some snow before kickoff, but the backdrop cleared out later on.
"I will always remember," Moore said. "It was like a movie, because at the beginning it was snowing and raining and all that, then the football gods cleared it out for us to have a great game tonight."
Moore spent his first five NFL seasons with the Panthers from 2018-2022. The wideout never went to the playoffs with the Panthers, so Saturday night was an important one for him.
He's been with Chicago for the last three years, and the city has embraced him. In his first season with the Bears, he set a new career high in receiving yards (1,364).
Moore has played in 17 games for the Bears this season, and is second on the team with 682 receiving yards and six touchdowns after the events of Wild Card Weekend.
The Bears will now have to wait until the last NFC Wild Card game wraps up to learn who their next opponent will be. It will be either the Philadelphia Eagles or the Los Angeles Rams, depending on who wins.
If the 49ers win, the Bears play the Rams, but if the Eagles win, they will get another matchup with the defending Super Bowl champs.
Chicago beat Philadelphia 24-15 earlier this season on the road. The Bears will welcome the Eagles to Soldier Field if they win on Sunday, a place where not many teams can say they've won. Chicago is 7-2 at home this season.
We'll have to wait and see what team the Bears draw for the Divisional Round.
