The Chicago Bears finally won a football game, snapping a franchise-worst 14-game losing streak with an exciting win over the Washington Commanders in prime time.
Quarterback Justin Fields appears to have turned a corner. Fields has shown impressive improvement in the passing game against the Denver Broncos and Commanders, where he’s completed 67 percent of his passes for 617 yards with eight touchdowns and one interception. He’s tied for the second-most touchdown passes (11) among quarterbacks through the first five games.
Receiver DJ Moore had a standout performance with eight catches for a career-high 230 yards and three touchdowns, where his connection with Fields flourished.
While Matt Eberflus’ future in Chicago remains uncertain, there’s no doubt that the team showed up for him as they got a well-deserved victory.
On the latest episode of our Bears Wire Podcast, host Ryan O’Leary (@RyanO_Leary) and myself (@AlyssaBarbieri) recap the win, break down Justin Fields’ progress (and whether to build around him) and discuss the Chase Claypool debacle.
