Overview

• Johnson said the Bears are a new team focused on this week’s game, declining to frame the matchup as a revenge trip.
• Last season’s meeting ended on Jayden Daniels’ Hail Mary that deflected off Bears defenders to Noah Brown for a walk-off Commanders win.
• That result preceded Washington’s run to the NFC title game and coincided with a prolonged Chicago slide that led to Matt Eberflus’ midseason firing.
• Cornerback Tyrique Stevenson, criticized for his role on the play after jawing with fans and being out of position, declined to discuss returning to the stadium.
• Under Johnson, Caleb Williams has shown early progress with eight touchdowns to two interceptions through four games and an NFC Offensive Player of the Week honor.
