The Commanders (3-2) welcome the Bears (2-2) to FedExField at Northwest Stadium for a primetime Monday Night showdown.
Washington returns home riding high after what was arguably their most complete performance of the season, a commanding 27-10 win over the Chargers. After falling behind early, Jayden Daniels and company caught fire, rattling off 27 unanswered points to seal the victory.
The Commanders’ defense, which had struggled to generate takeaways earlier in the season, forced two key turnovers in L.A., while rookie sensation Jacory Croskey-Merritt turned heads with 150 total yards and a pair of touchdowns.
Chicago, on the other hand, comes into this matchup refreshed and rejuvenated after their Week 5 bye. The Bears rebounded from an 0-2 start with back-to-back wins, including a statement victory over the Cowboys and a dramatic triumph against the Raiders sealed by a blocked field goal.
Quarterback Caleb Williams has shown significant growth in his sophomore campaign, while his connection with rookie standout Rome Odunze continues to blossom. The arrival of head coach Ben Johnson has breathed new life into Chicago’s offense, giving fans reason to believe this year’s Bears might finally be turning the corner.
