The Chicago Bears (1-4) defeated the Washington Commanders (2-3) on Thursday Night Football, where Chicago snapped their 14-game losing streak.
The Bears had a dominant first half performance, where they held a 27-3 lead. But unlike the previous week, where they choked away a huge lead, Chicago was able to close it out in the second half (even though there was a scare in the third quarter). That included some standout performances from Justin Fields and DJ Moore.
