Star Chicago Bears' wide receiver D.J. Moore got the last laugh over a heckling Detroit Lions fan at Ford Field on Sunday. The 'troll move' was so original, it made waves on social media three days after it happened.
The Lions and Bears took on each other in Week 11 in an NFC North divisional clash, which marked yet another matchup for brothers Amon-Ra and Equanimeous St. Brown. On the St. Brown Brothers podcast, the former of the sibling wide receivers was able to flaunt Detroit's win (31-26), but it was the latter who gave the best anecdote from the game.
The epic tale had to do with a heckling Detroit Lions fan that had the Bears sideline ramped up last Sunday night. The Lions supporter could be seen on video yelling incessantly. "Your name is Denniston, bro!", he told D.J. Moore. "You got a new tattoo on your leg?!", the fan hurled at running back D'Onta Foreman. Followed by a taunt to Equanimeous over his supposed receding hairline: "Take your headband off! I want to see that helmet hairline".
According to Equanimeous, the fan kept going for the entire game. Which made Amon-Ra St. Brown interrupt his story with a quick: "I love it".
D.J. Moore trolls heckling Lions fan in the most original way
The Lions fan was on a mission: literally, according to the elder St. Brown brother. "They must give him free seats the whole year and tell him 'just talk the wole game'".
The moment of truth arrived in the third quarter, when D.J. Moore scored a go-ahead touchdown for the Bears. Chicago's star receiver turned towards the 'annoying' Lions fan and told him he'd sign his football.
Moore made good on his promise, but actually signed the words "shut up", followed by his signature. To make things even worse for the fan, his message and autograph were signed over a piece of tape he stuck to the ball, rendering it useless.
Not all was bad for the heckler, though. Not only did the Bears cave and give Detroit the win late in the fourth quarter, but he will have an epic story immortalized forever.
