MINNEAPOLIS — The Bears were trailing 21-3 when they got the ball with 1:54 left in the first half Sunday. Before they took the field to start the drive, receiver Darnell Mooney pulled quarterback Justin Fields aside.
“I was telling Justin, ‘Hey, if you gotta use your feet to give us a spark or something like that, use it,’” Mooney said. “’We need something. We have to get seven on this drive before we come out at halftime.’”
Turns out, Mooney was the spark. On the first play of the drive, from midfield, Fields launched a pass down the left sideline that Mooney caught in spectacular fashion.
