This is the first time a Bears wide receiver has earned NFC Offensive Player of the Week honors since Marcus Robinson in 1999.
1999 was the best season of Marcus Robinson's nine year career. It was Robinson's sophomore season, racking up 84 receptions for 1400 yards and nine touchdowns. During Week 15, Robinson went off for 11 receptions, 170 yards, and three touchdowns in the Bears' 28-10 win over the Detroit Lions.
Already, DJ Moore has racked up more receiving yards in five games (531) than any Bears receiver recorded all of last season. While Cole Kmet had 544 yards through the air last year, the team's leading wide receiver was Darnell Mooney with just 493 yards.
