DJ Moore celebrates a touchdown Thursday.

DJ Moore missed the greatest receiving game in franchise history by a less than a foot.

Maybe a heel.

With the ball at their own 37 with about a minute left in the third quarter of Thursday night’s 40-20 win at the Commanders, Bears quarterback Justin Fields threw a quick out along the right sideline to Moore. Rookie cornerback Emmanuel Forbes reached for the pass with his right arm extended and his back to the quarterback, but missed the ball.
