Mooney has 17 catches for 241 yards with no touchdowns this season.

Regardless of how ugly the game against the Commanders was, the Bears had what they thought was a perfect scenario to win it in the final minute: Darnell Mooney, open at the goal line, ball in his hands.

That’s the surest of sure things in an otherwise shaky offense.

Mooney, however, bobbled it in the air and couldn’t secure it before cornerback Benjamin St. Juste brought him down inches short of the end zone.

Mooney couldn’t estimate how many times he watched the video in disbelief over the next few days.
