BREAKING: D.J. Moore and His Wife Shock America After Announcing They Will Adopt 10 Orphans
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS — In one of the most emotionally powerful and inspiring stories the NFL has seen this year, Chicago Bears star wide receiver D.J. Moore and his wife have stunned fans across the nation by announcing that they will
adopt 10 orphans, offering each child what they have never truly had before — a permanent home filled with love, stability, and real family.
“We saw kids who had no one,” Moore said in an exclusive interview. “My wife and I just looked at each other and knew — if we can change their lives, even for ten of them, that’s something we must do.”
The children, ranging in age from 3 to 12, come from heartbreaking and difficult circumstances. Some had been abandoned, others spent years bouncing through the foster care system, and several had endured homelessness and traumatic experiences.
Financially, supporting 10 children — estimated at more than $1 million annually — is an enormous commitment, but Moore made it clear:
“Money isn’t the value. Love is. Stability is. Giving these kids a chance — that’s priceless.”
One emotional moment has already captured the hearts of millions:
7-year-old Lucas, previously living in a New Jersey orphanage, broke down in tears when he first entered the Moore family home.
“I’ve never had my own room before… and now I have toys, books, and Bears posters everywhere,” Lucas said, voice trembling — a moment that brought Moore, his wife, and volunteers to tears.
Moore Builds a Full Support System — Education, Sports, and Healing
D.J. Moore and his wife didn’t stop at adoption. They built an entire development program inside their home:
-
Personalized at-home education
-
Daily fitness and sports routines
-
Football fundamentals and teamwork lessons guided by Moore
-
Trauma-informed therapy and mental-health support
-
Life-skills classes to build confidence and independence
Moore’s wife explained the purpose beautifully:
“We want them to feel safe, loved, supported, and believed in — every single day. That’s what a real family gives you.”
Bears Fans Call D.J. Moore ‘A Hero On and Off the Field’
Within minutes of the announcement, Chicago fans flooded social media with emotional reactions:
“This is why we love D.J. Moore. He isn’t just a playmaker — he’s a true leader and a hero in real life.”
Even outside Chicago, NFL players, analysts, and fans praised Moore’s gesture as one of the most inspiring acts of kindness by an athlete this year.
D.J. Moore’s Final Message Leaves America in Tears
Before ending the interview, Moore shared a message that instantly went viral nationwide:
“You’re not alone anymore. You have a family now — forever. No matter what comes your way, we’ll be with you. You deserve love, hope, and a future filled with joy.”
A Story Bigger Than Football
This incredible act is already being recognized as one of the most beautiful philanthropic moments in modern sports, showing that D.J. Moore’s greatness goes beyond the football field.
Ten children now have a life filled with stability, warmth, opportunity, and unconditional love — all because one NFL star and his wife chose to open their home and their hearts.
The NFL fined Texans defensive end DeMarcus Walker following a penalty in the game against the Buffalo Bills, a decision that stirred debate about consistency in officiating
During the Houston Texans’ “Thursday Night Football” battle against the Buffalo Bills in Week 12, quarterback Davis Mills scrambled on a broken play. Even though the whistle blew on the play, the league could have something to say about it.
Mills and the Texans’ offense started slowly, but they eventually found their rhythm to take a 10-9 lead in the first half.
Moreover, he shook off a play that could have spelled bad news for the Texans.
Davis Mills Forces Deone Walker Into Potentially Costly Decision During Bills-Texans
The play occurred during the second quarter, the Texans’ first possession of the frame and their fourth of the game. Mills went to hand the ball off to running back Woody Marks, but the rookie went in the opposite direction.
Instead of handing it off, Mills took it himself, gaining 5 yards on the play but having it wiped out in favor of a 15-yard facemask penalty on Bills defensive tackle Deone Walker.
That penalty will most likely cost Walker.
The NFL releases a list of player fines for infractions during the previous week’s slate of games. That includes plays that did not draw flags during the contests in which they occurred. There is also a list of baseline fines players can expect for incurring various penalties.
According to the NFL Football Operations portal, the fine for a facemask is $11,593 for the first infraction and $17,389 on the second.
Walker, the 109th overall pick of the 2025 draft, avoided incurring any fines for 11 weeks.
He had also avoided getting flagged, doubling up in Week 12 against the Texans, who took a 20-16 lead into halftime.
C.J. Stroud Expected Back for Texans in Week 13
Mills completed 11 of 21 passes for 122 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 0 interceptions to give the Texans the first-half lead. He entered the game having led the Texans to back-to-back wins, defeating the Jacksonville Jaguars and Tennessee Titans.
Defeating the Bills would be quite the statement from the 2021 third-round pick. However, Mills’ efforts could all be for not as far as being the Texans’ QB is concerned.
Typical starter C.J. Stroud is expected back from concussion protocol in Week 13.
“Had the game been on Sunday instead of Thursday, C.J. Stroud likely would have played,” NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported on “TNF Prime” on November 20. “He’s doing well. He is expected to be on the sidelines tonight. Just not enough time to be cleared for this one.”
The Texans will visit the Indianapolis Colts in Week 13, in a game that could hold even more weight when the two teams meet again in Week 18 in Houston.
Davis Mills Could Draw Trade Interest This Offseason
Mills entered Thursday’s tilt having thrown for 563 yards, 3 TDs, and 1 INT on 61.6% completion in Stroud’s place as the Texans’ starter. The No. 67 overall pick of the 2021 draft, Mills is also signed through the 2026 season after inking a on
Canucks turn in strong effort, but lose 4-2 to Stars
Starting Lineup
First Period
This one did not start the way the Canucks wanted. After an odd-man rush created from a puck bouncing off of Kiefer Sherwood in the neutral zone, the Stars were all over the puck after a rebound went off of a sprawled
1-0 Stars.
The Canucks didn’t take long to respond, with Linus Karlsson sniping one on Jake Oettinger to tie this one up in a hurry:

1-1.
This game had great pace to it early on, and the Stars struck again as the red-hot Jason Robertson wristed one past Lankinen:
2-1 Stars.
The Canucks probably wanted to slow this game down a bit, if we’re being honest. They got a prime chance to tie this one up, as they got the first power play chance of the game. After some crisp passing and sharp movement, Elias Pettersson drove to the front of the net with the puck on his stick, and between him and Jake DeBrusk taking hacks at the puck, this one found the back of the net.
That originally looked like Jake DeBrusk’s 8th power play goal of the season, putting him in a tie with Wyatt Johnston for the NHL lead. After the period, however, the goal was given to Elias Pettersson. 2-2.
Some takeaways from the first:
-It has been so refreshing to watch Elias Pettersson play hockey this month. He’s playing with confidence we haven’t seen from him in over a year, and the Canucks are better for it. Hopefully Pettersson can keep this up.
-Linus Karlsson is heating up… 3 points in his last four games.
Second Period
The Canucks got another power play opportunity early in the second, and once again, they looked dangerous. Pettersson was once again the focal point, and made a great pass to Kiefer Sherwood for a backdoor tap in, but Sherwood couldn’t make contact with the puck. The Canucks were all over the Stars after their power play chance, and it wasn’t long before Dallas took another penalty.
Once again, the Canucks’ power play was a treat to watch. Pettersson kept winning faceoffs, and the power play didn’t relinquish possession much. They got 1:20 of 5-on-3 time to work with, and while the Canucks’ power play once again looked dangerous, they didn’t turn that into a goal, and this game remained tied.
The Canucks kept up their pressure at 5v5, and managed to slow this game down a bit, just like they wanted. As noted above, the Stars didn’t get many shots off in the final half of the first period, and the Canucks continued that in the second.
Conor Garland made a phenomenal play through the neutral zone and pulled off a give-and-go with Brock Boeser, but couldn’t negotiate his shot. The puck made its way to Elias Pettersson, however, and Oettinger absolutely robbed Pettersson of what would have been his second goal of the game:
This game was still tied after 40 minutes of play.
Some takeaways from the second:
-The Stars iced the puck four times in a row and I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before.
-DPetey made some great defensive plays in this one. I’m noticing him and Tom Willander less and less, which is a good thing for two young defencemen.
-Entertaining game through 40 minutes!
Third Period
The Canucks got a fourth straight power play two minutes into the third after Tyler Myers pulled off a nifty little toe drag to the middle. Now, I know you might not believe me at this point, but the Canucks’ power play once again looked dangerous but didn’t score. This time, Jake Oettinger made one of the nicest saves of the season when he flashed out the right pad to rob Elias Pettersson:
The Canucks continued to be the better team, which naturally meant every Canucks fan was aware of the fact that they’d like give up the game’s next goal. Kevin Lankinen made some key saves to preserve the tie:
Drew O’Connor was called for holding, and the Stars’ power play tried to get a go-ahead goal. Lankinen was the Canucks’ best penalty killer, making some big stops:
Unfortunately, back at 5v5, a neutral zone breakdown led to a breakaway for Colin Blackwell, who made no mistake in beating Kevin Lankinen glove side.
3-2 Dallas.
With two minutes to go, as the Canucks were trying to pull Kevin Lankinen, Canuck killer Mikko Rantanen went up the ice and roofed a beauitful backhand to ice this one for the Stars. 4-2.
My big takeaway from this one: This is potentially the best the Canucks individual game the Canucks have played all season. The effort is always there with this team, but being the better team against a team like Dallas is no easy feat. It’s too bad they couldn’t get the result in a game they played well in.
