The Chicago faithful now get to enjoy a full slate of football knowing that their team has done its job.

Before all the exciting action kicks off tomorrow, let’s wax poetic about what the Bears did right in Week 5, and where they can improve with the extra time off this week.

Studs and duds from Bears’ impressive win vs. Commanders in Week 5

The Bears snapped their 14-game losing streak with an impressive win over the Commanders. Here are the (mostly) studs and duds from Week 5.

The Chicago Bears dominated the Washington Commanders in a 40-20 prime-time victory, snapping a franchise-worst 14-game losing streak.

It was Chicago’s first win in 347 days. It also came on the same day where Bears legend Dick Butkus passed away at age 80.

Chicago dominated in the first half, jumping out to a 27-3 lead. While the second half didn’t start well, the Bears were able to preserve the win in the fourth quarter thanks to the duo of Justin Fields and DJ Moore, as well as an inspired effort on an injury-depleted defense.
