Bears coach Matt Nagy is reworking some of his plans for the offense on the fly, and the emergence of fifth-round pick Darnell Mooney is making his job easier. Mooney showed over the first two games he’s ready to contribute as a rookie, and Nagy rewarded him with about double the playing time during the 17-13 win over the Giants.
Mooney played 60% of the snaps Sunday after getting 32% the week before and was on the field more than any wide receiver other than Allen Robinson (82%).
He turned that into three catches on three targets for 36 yards and a touchdown.
