After beating the Packers, the Bears are starting to feel like a team of destiny

Receiver DJ Moore who caught the Bears’ 46-yard game-winning touchdown in overtime against the rival Packers on Saturday night, has a theory about his team’s late-game successes: they’re getting help from above — and also behind them.

“It’s got a lot to do with Virginia looking over us,” he said, “and Ben being on our ass.”

The Bears are playing their first season without matriarch Virginia McCaskey, who died in February, and their first with hard-driving head coach Ben Johnson.

Saturday night’s 22-16 overtime win was the most manic victory in a season full of them.
