More than any other current Chicago Bears player, DJ Moore understands the rivalry with the Green Bay Packers. He left it all on the field on Saturday night when he had one rush for 12 yards and five catches
for 97 yards, including the 46-yard game-winner from Caleb Williams in one of the most improbable Chicago wins in franchise history.
After the game, he ended his on-field interview with, “At the end of the day, it’s F the Packers always.”
Then, in the locker room, he was wearing a cheese-grater hat as head coach Ben Johnson gave him a game ball. He made sure to express his disdain for Green Bay during his speech when he repeated his line about the Packers, although he didn’t censor himself this time as he dropped the F-bomb.
However, the Bears’ social media team took down their postgame video and reshared it after censoring Moore’s “At the end of the day” line out of the clip.
Moore caught his touchdown with Green Bay’s Keisean Nixon draped all over him, with no pass interference called, and in case you missed it, Nixon was the Packer who cheapshotted Moore in the first quarter of the game, giving DJ the last laugh.
“It was amazing. Caleb put it right on the money,” Moore said about the throw leading to the overtime walk-off.
