"DJ Moore remained the steady veteran presence at the top of that group. He finished with 682 receiving yards on 50 catches and six touchdowns, tying for the team lead in scores among wideouts while starting all 17 games for the fifth straight season. Availability has become part of Moore's résumé, and that reliability continues to matter in a young offense growing into itself."
"But Moore's 2025 won't be remembered for his yardage totals. Instead, it will be remembered for two catches against the Green Bay Packers. Late in the regular season, with the NFC North hanging in the balance, Moore hauled in a 46-yard touchdown from Caleb Williams in overtime to beat the Packers at Soldier Field. Blanket coverage didn't matter. Keisean Nixon was in phase, but Moore elevated, tracked, and finished - the type of contested catch that shifts both standings and narratives."
"Three weeks later, he did it again. In a wild-card playoff showdown against that same rival, the Bears stormed back from a 21-3 halftime deficit to stun Green Bay 31-27. With 1:43 remaining, Williams found Moore for a 25-yard touchdown that sealed the comeback and cemented one of the most dramatic wins in franchise history. The play was later named the 2025 Next Gen Stats Moment of the Year at NFL Honors and voted the Bears' top play of the season."
DJ Moore finished 2025 with 682 receiving yards on 50 catches and six touchdowns, starting all 17 games. Availability remained a key attribute as the veteran provided reliability in a young offense. Moore made two game-changing catches against the Green Bay Packers: a 46-yard overtime touchdown at Soldier Field to win a late NFC North contest, and a 25-yard touchdown with 1:43 remaining in a wild-card playoff comeback from a 21-3 halftime deficit that sealed a 31-27 upset. The playoff score earned the 2025 Next Gen Stats Moment of the Year and the Bears’ top play. Moore served as a tone-setter and the trusted target in high-leverage situations.
