You know a football team is struggling when one of the opposing team’s players has to go over and tell a team’s star wideout that he isn’t being used right.
And such is the case with Matt Eberflus’ Chicago Bears, who are off to an ugly 0-2 start — the franchise’s first since 2016. In just two contests, the Bears have been already been outscored 65 to 37.
In Sunday’s road game against the Buccaneers, you can hear Tampa Bay linebacker Devin White telling Moore, “They ain’t using it right.” Chicago’s prized offseason acquisition concurs and tells White, “Tell me about it.”
Now that’s a big “Yikes”.
Moore was productive in the Bears’ Week 2 loss, hauling in six receptions for 104 yards. But quarterback Justin Fields had a tough day at Raymond James Stadium, tossing just 211 yards for one touchdown, two picks and six interceptions.
In the Bears’ Week 1 opening blowout loss against the Green Bay Packers, Moore had a quiet day with just two catches for 25 yards.

Chicago acquired Moore from the Carolina Panthers as part of the return for the first overall pick, which Frank Reich and company used on Alabama quarterback Bryce Young.
There was hope in the Windy City that Moore’s arrival would help Fields enjoy a breakout year. That hasn’t happened through two weeks, and the pressure is on offensive coordinator Luke Getsy and company to find a way to get their young QB going.
