- Bears beat Commanders 40-20 for first win since October 2022
- DJ Moore catches fire with 230 yards and three touchdowns
Justin Fields connected with DJ Moore for 230 yards and three touchdowns, and the embattled Chicago Bears picked up their first win of the season, beating the Washington Commanders 40-20 Thursday night, hours after word emerged of the death of franchise great Dick Butkus.
The Bears snapped a 14-game skid dating to last season. It’s their first victory since 24 October 2022, and it came with a receiver in exile, their defensive coordinator gone and in the aftermath of blowing a 21-point lead last week.
