For the third straight game, a fumble cost the Chicago Bears a chance at victory. And for the second time in the last three weeks, it was rookie receiver Velus Jones Jr. who was responsible.
The Bears held a 7-6 lead with eight minutes left in the game, and the offense was going to get a chance to milk the clock and try to move it down the field. Unfortunately, Jones muffed the punt on his own 9-yard line as the ball went off his facemask. While Jones tried to get on top of it, it was recovered by the Commanders on Chicago’s 4-yard line.
