The Chicago Bears defeated the Washington Commanders, 40-20, on Thursday Night Football. It snapped a franchise-worst 14-game losing streak that almost reached a full calendar yet.
The Bears had a dominant first half performance, where they held a 27-3 lead. But unlike the previous week, where they choked away a huge lead, Chicago was able to close it out in the second half (even though there was a scare in the third quarter).
Quarterback Justin Fields and receiver DJ Moore stole the show in prime time, where Fields found Moore eight times for 230 yards — second most in franchise history — and three touchdowns.
There was plenty to break down following Chicago’s exciting win over Washington, including the exciting duo of Fields and Moore and getting a win for Dick Butkus, who passed away before the game. Our Bears Wire staff is sharing their thoughts following the Week 5 contest.
