Good, bad and ugly from Bears’ Week 5 win over the Commanders

The Bears got its first win of the season against the Commanders. We break down the (mostly) good, bad and ugly from the victory.

It’s been a couple of days since the Chicago Bears’ triumphant victory over the Washington Commanders on Thursday Night Football, and victory has never tasted sweeter.

Quarterback Justin Fields now has a two-game sample size of elite play, the offense is firing on all cylinders, and the defense actually stood its ground and didn’t allow a miraculous comeback victory two weeks in a row. 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.

Let’s break down the good, bad and ugly in the Bears Week 5 win over the Commanders.

5 standout Bears on Day 11 of training camp

With Day 11 of Bears training camp in the books, here are the players who impressed on Tuesday.

The Chicago Bears were back at Halas Hall Tuesday to resume practice ahead of Saturday’s preseason opener against the Tennessee Titans.

The offense had an up-and-down day, although there were some standout players among the bunch. While right guard Nate Davis and linebacker Jack Sanborn were back at practice, the team was still without its top defenders in linebacker Tremaine Edmunds, cornerback Kyler Gordon and safeties Eddie Jackson and Jaquan Brisker sitting out. But other players further down the depth chart were able to flash their skill.

Let’s examine the Bears players who impressed during Tuesday’s training camp practice:

Up next are the cornerbacks. Chicago’s passing defense ranked last in the NFL in net yards per attempt which explains why the team has drafted three cornerbacks in the last two drafts.

After suffering injuries to cornerbacks Jaylon Johnson and Kindle Vildor last year, the Bears have added more depth and could possibly be getting ready for a future without Johnson.
