The Chicago Bears offense is starting hot for the second consecutive week, and this time it was rookie wide receiver Darnell Mooney who put the Bears on top, 7-0, in the first quarter against the Detroit Lions with his fourth touchdown of the season:

Mooney has been one of the brightest stars this year after being selected in the fifth round of the 2020 NFL draft. He entered Week 15 with 42 catches for 450 yards and three scores.
The Bears are in must-win territory for the rest of the regular season. If they win out, they’ll have a shot for the seventh and final NFC wild card spot.
