LAKE FOREST, Ill. – The opportunity Chicago Bears receiver Darnell Mooney desperately sought after was lost in the lights at Soldier Field.
The Bears were back in the low red zone for a third time against the Washington Commanders on Thursday night. Unlike their two previous trips inside the 10-yard line, which happened on their second and third drives, respectively, this one meant everything. If they didn’t punch the ball in after quarterback Justin Fields’ 39-yard scramble got them to Washington’s 5-yard line, they’d walk away losers of an ugly game.
