(670 The Score) It didn’t take long for new Bears receiver DJ Moore to learn a lesson about Chicago fans’ frustration.
In his first game with the organization, Moore was a bit surprised to hear Bears fans booing the team in the middle of the second quarter of an eventual 38-20 loss to the rival Packers on Sunday at Soldier Field.
“They started booing and I was like, ‘Whoa, it’s only the second quarter,’” Moore said on the Mully & Haugh Show on Monday morning. “But then we came out after halftime, and it was even louder with the boos. I was like, ‘Oh man.’”
Bears fans began booing midway through the second quarter as their offense stalled. The booing got far worse in the third quarter as the Packers turned their 10-6 lead at halftime into a blowout.
Moore was targeted only twice in the ugly loss, catching both for 25 yards. He admitted he’d like the ball more but took the high road when asked about the game plan that didn’t feature him more.
Whatever happens moving forward, Moore understands there’s one way to stop the booing. The Bears have to play much, much better.
“Just staying together as a team, getting through the rough times,” Moore said of how to get through the adversity. “It’s just one game. I mean, it’s a big game, but it’s just one game out of (17) … We plan on going to the postseason. It’s going to be a long year, and we can’t just dwell on this one loss.”
