Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney (11) makes a move after a pass reception Sunday. Mooney had five catches for a season-high 82 yards in the Bears’ 24-17 loss to the Saints at Caesars Superdome.

Darnell Mooney sounded a little chagrined to have his five receptions for 82 yards against the Saints on Sunday described as a “breakout” game. But it’s been that kind of season for the fourth-year wide receiver.
