Overview

  • Jake Moody redeemed an earlier blocked try with a 38-yard field goal as time expired to seal Chicago's 25-24 win on Monday night.
  • Washington quarterback Jayden Daniels lost a 3rd-and-1 handoff with 3:07 left, and Nahshon Wright’s recovery set up the Bears’ winning drive; Daniels accepted blame as the Commanders fell to 3-3.
  • Caleb Williams went 17-of-29 for 252 yards with one passing and one rushing touchdown and set a franchise mark with 200 yards and a TD in each of the first five games, per ESPN’s Courtney Cronin.
  • ESPN analyst Troy Aikman drew notice for repeatedly criticizing Williams, calling a late D’Andre Swift touchdown "just luck," prompting an Instagram rejoinder from Williams and a subtle on-air defense from coach Ben Johnson.
  • Johnson highlighted run-game and defensive strides, praising T.J. Edwards and Tremaine Edmunds as D’Andre Swift ran for 108 yards and housed a 55-yard reception, while a viral sideline clip of Johnson shouting was based on social-media lip-reading.
