Darnell Mooney Drops Hail Mary In Loss To Browns

11 months ago

Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney saw a surge in opportunities in Week 15, tying a team lead with eight targets, a season-high for him. Despite the increased looks, Mooney only managed to catch two of them for a mere 14 yards in the team's 20-17 loss to the Browns. The 26-year-old had a crucial moment in the game's closing minutes, attempting to secure a Hail Mary pass from Justin Fields in the endzone, but the attempt resulted in an interception, sealing the Bears' fate. Since his strong Week 1 performance, Mooney has scored double-digit PPR points just once, with four of the last five games seeing him fall below five points. Playing a supporting role to DJ Moore and Cole Kmet in the passing game, Mooney has faced challenges in a run-heavy Bears team. In Week 16, facing the Cardinals, who allow the 13th-most points per game to receivers this season, Mooney aims to finish the last three games on a positive note after a challenging campaign.
