Chicago Bears rookie and former Tennessee Volunteer Darnell Wright officially has his first win in the National Football League after the Chicago Bears destroyed the Washington Commanders by a score of 40-20 on Thursday night.
Often criticized through the first four weeks of the season, the Bears offense exploded on Thursday to the tune of 460 total offensive yards.
Wright, though, has been one of the bright spots on the Chicago offense as the Bears look to find some momentum. Despite some rookie mistakes here and there, Wright’s production on the field has been solid in both the run game and the passing game.
The same was true on Thursday night against the Commanders. The prime-time game on Amazon delivered some massive highlights from Wright that captivated users on social media. Here’s a look at some of those big moments from No. 58 on the field.
