The Washington Commanders entered the second half down 27-3 to the 0-4 Chicago Bears. They desperately needed a touchdown on their opening drive, and that’s exactly what they got. They opened up the drive with a 24-yard screen pass to Brian Robinson. Howell followed that up with passes to Robinson, Logan Thomas, and Antonio Gibson. He tried to get Terry McLaurin involved on the next play, but they got a pass interference call on Chicago instead. Washington got the ball at the 2 yard line and Sam Howell hit Logan Thomas for the Commanders first touchdown of the game. Sam Howell then ran it in for the 2-point conversion.

The Washington Commanders stopped the Chicago Bears on their next drive, and RB Khalil Herbert appeared to be injured on the play. Jamison Crowder has his best return since returning to Washington, taking the Bears punt back 20 yards. Logan Thomas caught a pass and was working for extra yards when the ball was stripped by rookie Terrell Smith.

Washington held Chicago to 5 plays, and forced the punt on their next drive. Big plays to Antonio Gibson and Jahan Dotson moved them into field goal range, and Joey Slye hit it for 3. Justin Fields and DJ Moore continued to make plays on the Bears next drive. Chicago kicked another field goal.

Washington relied on the wide receiver trio of Terry McLaurin, Byron Pringle, and Jamison Crowder, Dyami Brown, and Curtis Samuel to move the ball down the field on the next drive. Sam Howell found Curtis Samuel in the endzone, but he failed to get points on the 2 point conversion.

Washington forced a three and out, and had over nine minutes to cutdown on the 13 point deficit. They got the ball down to the 28 yard line, and attempted a field goal. Joey Slye missed the 46-yard field goal, and Chicago took over at the Commanders 36-yard line. It only took them two plays for DJ Moore to score another touchdown to seal the game.
