Overview

• Chicago visits Washington on Monday night at 7:15 p.m. ET for the quarterbacks’ second NFL meeting after their 2024 Week 8 finish.
• Through early 2025, Williams leads Daniels in yards per attempt (7.1 to 6.8), completion rate (62.3% to 59.2%), passer rating (97.8 to 93.2) and passing yards per game (231.8 to 221.3).
• Daniels has missed time this season, with outlets differing on whether the issue was a knee or hamstring, reinforcing the small-sample caveat.
• Washington enters with the NFL’s top rushing average at 5.9 yards per carry, which supports Daniels’ dual-threat profile as he recently became the fastest to 4,000 passing and 1,000 rushing yards in 20 games.
• Last season’s meeting ended on Daniels’ 52-yard Hail Mary to Noah Brown before Chicago’s 10-game slide and staff firings, while the Bears now ride Ben Johnson’s stewardship and the Commanders continue under Kliff Kingsbury’s offense.
