The Washington Commanders are hosting the Chicago Bears at Northwest Stadium on Monday Night Football. They are coming into their rematch from last season hurting on offense with WRs Terry McLaurin(groin)
and Noah Brown(groin) missing another game. Backup RB Chris Rodriguez Jr(calf) is also doubtful. Jayden Daniels made his return to the field last week, and will be looking to get another win over the Bears. Last season’s matchup ended with a Hail Mary touchdown from Daniels to Brown, but Washington will look to have the game wrapped up before any last-minute heroics are needed.
They’ll look to their rookie sensation RB Bill Croskey-Merritt to control the game again, after his breakout game last week against the Los Angeles Chargers. Washington has the best running game in the league, and they’ll need to lean on that again, along with an improved defense, to hand Chicago another loss.
The Chicago Bears are 2-2 and coming off their bye week. They beat the Cowboys and the Raiders before their bye, but dropped their first two games to their division rivals, the Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions. The Bears season unraveled after their loss to Washington, and ended with a 5-12 record and a fired coaching staff. They’re now led by former Detroit Lions OC Ben Johnson, who had famously turned down an interview to be the Commanders head coach while Washington was flying to Detroit to meet with him.
This should be a fun one!
