"Matthew Stafford wasn't about to apologize for his takedown of Bears cornerback D.J. Moore that started a shoving match and emptied both benches in the second half of Chicago's 37-13 win Sunday.

"He kind of blocked me. I was just trying to get him off me best I knew how, and I guess he didn't like the way I did it, and he wanted to ask me about it," Stafford said.

Did Stafford like the way Moore did it?

"Yup," Stafford said.

Stafford tossed Moore to the ground by the back of his helmet while trying to fend off a block on his third interception of the game.

Moore retaliated by hitting Stafford as the Lions quarterback was just starting to get up from the ground.

Brandon Pettigrew and Rashied Davis raced to Stafford's defense, flinging Moore off their quarterback, and players from both benches ran onto the field.

Moore was ejected but defended his actions after the game.

"When you are going after my livelihood, my neck, and you trying to hurt me, I just can't let that go," he said."
