While talking to the reporters on Wednesday, the Packers safety called out the Bears’ star wide receiver for direspecting Caleb Williams. He had walked off and left the rookie alone on the field when he was looking for an open receiver, against the Arizona Cardianals, amid the humiliating 29-9 loss.

This dude walked out on his QB, I’ve been playing football for five years now and I’ve been watching football for longer than that, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like it. You’re supposed to be the guy, and you’re just walking off the field. You’re walking off the field on a rookie quarterback that you’ve been praising, so it’s like, that’s a whole other story.

Although Moore clarified that he walked off the field due to twisting his ankle in the first half of Monday’s game, McKinney was not convinced by the explanation and accused him of abandoning his quarterback during a scramble.

All that stuff, that’s in my memory bank and I work accordingly to that. You know how people get before the season. They don’t really know what’s going to happen during the season and you just start talking too much and you don’t really know what you’re talking about.
