The Chicago Bears are battling the injury bug with a handful of players suffering notable injuries in the game vs. the Commanders.
The Chicago Bears finally end their franchise-long losing streak by beating the Washington Commanders 40-20. They overcame many obstacles to get it done.
The Bears (1-4) hadn't won since Week 7 at New England last season. They've been engulfed by drama in recent weeks, with defensive coordinator Alan Williams' resigning, Fields suggesting he was being overcoached while also blaming himself for his struggles and receiver Chase Claypool being banished. Blowing a 21-point lead against Denver last week only added to their pain.
Among the current players, rookie wide receiver Tyler Scott felt the impact of Butkus’ passing more than most. His father told him all about Butkus’ legend before Tyler ever became a Bear. “I was watching highlights of him when I was eight years old.”
The Bears’ offensive line faces a big challenge against the Commanders’ front four of Chase Young, Montez Sweat, Jonathan Allen and Daron Payne that is one of the best in the NFL.
