The DJ Moore tribute to Michael Jordan & Kobe Bryant in Bears win over Commanders, Thursday Night Football, the day of Dick Butkus death, October 5, 2023

Sports

60 points were scored in the game between Chicago and Washington, while Michael Jordan is 60, who played for Chicago and Washington.

DJ Moore had 230 receiving yards, 230 days after Jordan’s birthday.

Washington fell to 2-3, like how Jordan wore #23, and we’re in the year ’23.

And then there is the Kobe piece, since his teams, Philadelphia and Los Angeles are playing in the NFL this week. Of course, wore #8 and #24, and DJ Moore had 8 receptions tonight, and was the 24th pick of draft out of Carolina, like Jordan at UNC, and Kobe drafted by Charlotte.

Notice DJ Moore is from Philadelphia, where Kobe was born, and where Jordan played his last game.

His longest reception tonight was 58 yards. *Kobe Bryant = 58

Keep in mind Dick Butkus died at age 80 on this day. *Bryant = 80

And again, this was the first meeting of teams in 51 weeks, going with Dick Butkus wearing #51.
Michael = 51

And notice where 51 also factors in with Mike Ditka, another Bears legend.
