DJ Moore balled out in prime time and now gets to celebrate with slime time. On Wednesday, the Chicago Bears wide receiver was awarded Nickelodeon’s NVP award for his Week 5 performance in the team’s 40-20 win over the Washington Commanders. Moore had a career day, catching eight passes for 230 yards and three touchdowns. His 230 yards were second-most in team history in a single game, just 19 yards short of Alshon Jeffery’s record of 249 set 10 years ago.
Earlier in the day, Moore won the NFL’s Player of the Week award and now gets his own NVP to go along with it.

The NVP (Nickelodeon Valuable Player) is an award created by Nickelodeon to celebrate a top-performing player in the NFL each week. It originated in early 2021 during the postseason when Nickelodeon aired a special broadcast of the Bears-Saints Wild Card game. Former Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky won the inaugural award thanks to a fan vote despite losing the game 21-9.
This is the first time a Bears player has won the award since that game.
