With just over 11 minutes left to play in the opening quarter, the Bears were on offense and sitting at Arizona's 48-yard line. On a second-and-6 play, things started to break down for Caleb Williams, who immediately started to scramble around and look for an open receiver, but Moore wasn't an option, because he wasn't on the field.

Former Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski says DJ Moore quit on his team in a play where he walked off the field.

Bears receiver DJ Moore oddly walked off the field in the middle of a play while quarterback Caleb Williams tried to find an open receiver during a 29-9 loss to the Cardinals.

Bears head coach Matt Eberflus explained why receiver DJ Moore left the field during a play against the Cardinals.

Quarterback Caleb Williams is forced out of the pocket and scrambles to his left, where Moore is running a route. Moore then comes back into the picture but exits to the sideline as Williams is still evading would-be tacklers and continuing to look downfield for an open receiver.

DJ Moore and Bears head coach Matt Eberflus were asked about the play where Moore left the game mid-play on Wednesday, and had a good explanation for that action.
