The Chicago Bears had not enjoyed a strong start to the 2025 campaign through their first two games. That changed in Week 3, as they cruised to a 31-14 victory over the Dallas Cowboys, giving them their first win of the season. And in the process, the Bears showed signs that have fans encouraged that they could only be scratching the surface of their potential.
Perhaps the most impressive part of Chicago’s win was a 19-play touchdown drive in the third quarter that ate up nine minutes and 54 seconds of the game and completely took the air out of Dallas’ sails. After the game, star wide receiver D.J. Moore provided a hilariously blunt one-word assessment of the Bears’ game-sealing drive that quickly caught fans’ attention.
D.J. Moore Drops Truth Bomb on Bears’ 19-Play Touchdown Drive
While the Bears lost each of their first two games, some talent evaluators saw encouraging signs of improvement from quarterback Caleb Williams under center that had them believing the offense was close to figuring things out. On Sunday, those predictions came true, as Williams put together arguably the most complete game of his young career.
The No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft completed 19 of his 28 pass attempts for 298 yards and four scores, with his touchdowns going to Moore, Luther Burden III, Rome Odunze, and Cole Kmet. Williams did a great job of keeping the Cowboys off balance by spreading the ball around, and their depleted secondary had no chance.
Williams was at his best on the aforementioned 19-play drive that iced the game for Chicago, as he slowly and methodically worked his way down the field, rather than trying to find a big play that wasn’t open. There is no doubt that a drive that is that long takes its toll on everyone, though, and Moore made that abundantly clear when discussing the defining sequence of the game with reporters.
“Torture,” Moore simply said. “It’s a long time, bro. 19 plays, and I didn’t even come off the field for none of it, so it was torture.”

The Bears weren’t necessarily perfect in Week 3, and it is worth noting that the Cowboys have one of the worst secondaries in the league, but improvement is improvement, no matter the opponent. With their first win in the books, Chicago has something it can build off of moving forward, and with only three games played, the whole season is still in front of them.
Heading into Week 4, the Bears have a great opportunity to continue their winning ways, as they will take on the Las Vegas Raiders, who just allowed Washington Commanders backup quarterback Marcus Mariota to drop 41 points on them. Chicago can’t afford to take its upcoming opponent lightly, but if they can play anything like they did in Week 3 when they return to action on Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET, they will have a great shot at earning win No. 2 on the year.
