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.

Much of the conversation following the Chicago Bears loss to the Arizona Cardinals in Week 9 centered on the actions of wide receiver DJ Moore. Early in the first quarter, Moore was seen walking off the field in a middle of a play with quarterback Caleb Williams scrambling towards the sideline.
