An Inch Short: The Bears Fall to Commanders

Each week it seems, I sit down and write about another gut-wrenching game. An early Thursday slate, the Chicago Bears took on the Washington Commanders to open up week 6. An extremely quick game, I look up at the clock and it’s already halftime, Bears down 0-3. Next thing I know, there’s two minutes left in the fourth quarter.
The first half, despite being shutout, seemed fairly successful. QB Justin Fields marched down the field with efficient passes on one drive while RB Khalil Herbert broke off a long 64 yard run on another, however both drives ended up being failed redzone trips. LBs Jaquan Brisker and Roquan Smith got huge sacks to help the defense, getting stop after stop. CB Jaylon Johnson made a huge pass deflection at the end of the half, keeping the Commanders from scoring a touchdown.
The second half was much more productive for the Bears, as Fields found WR Dante Pettis for a long 40 yard touchdown, to put the Bears up 7-3. Fields leaned heavily on his legs, rushing for a team high of 88 yards.
WR Velus Jones Jr. fumbled another punt away in a key moment, giving Washington great field position to score a touchdown, putting them up for good.
