Snap judgment: Bears WR Darnell Mooney rises in bigger role
Mooney caught his first career touchdown pass in the first half against the Giants.Bears coach Matt Nagy is reworking some of his plans for the offense on the fly, and the emergence of fifth-round pick Darnell Mooney is making his job easier. Mooney showed over the first two games he’s ready to contribute as a rookie, and Nagy rewarded him with about double the playing time during the 17-13 win over the Giants.
Mooney played 60% of the snaps Sunday after getting 32% the week before and was on the field more than any wide receiver other than Allen Robinson (82%).
