Jake Moody had a lot of time to think over the last month.

“It’s a pretty cool series of events.”

FUMBLE: Jayden Daniels fumbles the exchange. Nahshon Wright jumps on it. The Bears have life with 3:07 to go.

Offsides penalty against DJ Moore. Run for a loss of two. Drop from Olamide Zaccheaus.

Then on third-down from the 3, Williams hits Zaccheaus but he comes up short of the sticks.

Bears will punt with just over 6 minutes.

Washington punts back to Chicago. The Bears will take over at their own 9-yard line.

Caleb Williams and the Bears need at least a field goal.

Third-and-1 snap comes in a little bit high and goes through Caleb Williams' hands. He grabs it but goes down for a sack.

Commanders DE Dorance Armstrong is questionable to return with a hamstring injury. That's a big absence for the Commanders. Armstrong leads the team with five sacks on the season.
