After a loss in week one, the Chicago Bears need a win in the worst way. So, they may go out and do things that some fans do not think they can do. Every week, something out of the ordinary happens, so why not get bold and make some grand predictions about what could happen when the Bears take the field in week two against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers?
3. D.J. Moore records 100 yards and a touchdowns against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Yes, we went bold and called for a big D.J. Moore moment against the Green Bay Packers last week. Yes, that one did not work out. However, we are going right back. It was not just surprising that Moore only had two targets in the loss to the Packers; it was downright shocking. It was simply not smart.
Moore is the player who is supposed to change the way we view this offense, and he is supposed to have a game-changing influence. Through one week, he looked like another piece in the system. The Chicago Bears have to go out of their way to get Moore the football in week two. That means screens, jet sweeps, and deep ball shots taken to give him far more than two chances. He needs to leave the first quarter of this game with more targets than he had in all of week one.
Moore has a strong history against the Bucs secondary. He averages over 76 yards per game against the Bucs, and he averages just over 64 yards per game in his career. This is a secondary he knows well, and the Bears know they have to feed him targets. If Moore does not get going this week, the trade may be a dud.
