The Bears were winless (0-4). They came into FedEx Field and embarrassed the Commanders 40-20. Here are some postgame quotes.
“Tonight, the Commanders played with no intensity or fire. We didn’t compete in the first half and got down 27-3 heading into halftime. It was too big of a hole to climb out of and that is why we ended up losing 40-20.” tweeted limited partner Earvin “Magic” Johnson
