CHICAGO — DJ Moore had just made an incredible, leaping catch after sprinting 30 yards to high point a dime of a pass from Caleb Williams.

But Moore had enough gas in the tank to rival even the best marathon runners — he was fired up, yelling and celebrating his 2nd touchdown of the game in the Bears 36-10 win over Carolina on Sunday.

“I had a lot of energy,” Moore said after the game. “You know why? Cause we was hoping on that play and we finally connected on it between me and Caleb.”

The lack of explosiveness between the dynamic Moore and his super-talented, rookie quarterback has been an early storyline for these Bears — the veteran receiver had just 189 yards and 1 touchdown through the first 4 games of the season — but Sunday might just have been the kind of breakout game the duo have been looking for.

“It’s amazing,” Moore said. “It took five weeks to get the down-the-field pass game going. When it hits, it hits. And it was good today.”

They connected on a pair of touchdowns and Moore finished with a whopping 105 yards on 5 receptions. Williams, meanwhile, had the best start of his young career, throwing for 304 yards and a 126.2 passer rating to go with those 2 scores to Moore.

“I’ve been wanting one of those. DJ is such a special player and you all saw it today,” Williams said. “Having a special player like that on your team, you obviously want to give him the ball, let him just be DJ and be special. It felt really good. We were super excited.

“We get to the sideline, and we were both like, ‘Finally, we were able to hit something like that.’”

It’s the kind of performance the Bears hope can be a launching pad for unlocking another level offensively.

Moore, paired with the new additions of Williams, wide receivers Rome Odunze and Keenan Allen and running back D’Andre Swift created a buzz around the offense entering the season.

The results have been underwhelming entering Sunday. But, against a weak Carolina team, Shane Waldron’s unit did what it’s supposed to do — rack up yardage (424 yards, 6.1 yards per play) and score. Having Moore and Williams firing is a step in the right direction and that should lead to more opportunities for the other weapons and have the offense churning like it did on Sunday.

“I think the most important thing is understanding — I’ve talked about it multiple times —what the team needs and taking what the defense gives you. I think today we did that,” Williams said. “Definitely what we envisioned as an offense and as a team. We’ve got to keep doing it.”
