Bears' DJ Moore regrets showing emotions in loss to Texans - ESPN

LAKE FOREST, Ill. — DJ Moore was unaware how his body language was being perceived during the Chicago Bears' 19-13 loss in Houston until he saw video clips of himself circulating on social media.

Upon seeing how he was captured by cameras during «Sunday Night Football,» the veteran wide receiver did some «self-evaluation» and noted that his frustrations were not directed at the Bears' passing game nor anyone in specific.

«I shouldn't have shown as much,» Moore said. «But it's a part of the game. Like I said, we were one play away from the game changing. And we just couldn't connect, nobody on offense could connect with the one play or get the one play started to get us on track and go up. It's football. Everybody is going to have their ups and downs and frustrations.»

Down nine points with 3:01 to play in Houston, Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams threw a back-shoulder pass to Moore on third-and-4 from the Texans' 36-yard line. After the throw fell incomplete, Moore laid on his back momentarily before taking his helmet off and walking to the Bears sideline.

Cameras also showed Moore appearing to look sullen while sitting on the bench, which the wide receiver intimated was a mischaracterization of his body language.

"… every chance the camera got they caught that angle," Moore said. «I usually sit on the bench like that anyway, so I don't know what that's about.»

Moore was targeted a team-high 10 times and caught six passes for 53 yards. While recounting his throw that ended the Bears' penultimate drive of the game, Williams took responsibility for being off target.

«Tried to give [Moore] the ball, and if I threw it a little less wide and gave him a little bit more time, he would have made the play,» Williams said.
