"Truthfully, I'm just so ready to move on from this story. I'm glad that DJ did speak on it finally. We're not totally sure as to why he wasn't available after the loss to the Rams, which is unusual for him. But having this linger over the offseason probably wouldn't have been good for anyone. And if he is indeed back next season, it's probably not something we'd have wanted unaddressed when players started returning to Halas Hall."
"If we're being honest, I do believe DJ, Caleb, and Ben Johnson when they say that the play was a miscommunication. Moore's position coach (Antwaan Randle El) came to his defense, too. For whatever reason, Williams and Moore seem to run hot and cold when it comes to being on the same page, and according to those who spoke on it, that play was a newer install. Miscommunications happen, mistakes happen, and nobody is perfect."
Caleb Williams' contested interception intended for DJ Moore occurred in the Bears' Divisional Round loss to the Rams. Weeks later at the Super Bowl, Moore said his side mirrored others: the play resulted from miscommunication and the team must address similar situations going forward. Moore was unavailable after the loss for unspecified reasons. Antwaan Randle El publicly defended Moore. Observers noted inconsistent on-field chemistry between Williams and Moore and pointed out the play was a newer install. The team and players characterized the incident as a miscommunication rather than deliberate error, while attention remains on improving execution.
