It's not just that the Commanders committed three turnovers last night, but also that they didn't force any.

Dan Quinn on the minus-3 turnover margin: "You really don’t deserve to win many games when you’re in that space."

"It’s one thing for a tough league and a tough schedule to make things difficult for a team with designs on playing for the sport’s shiniest prizes," @barrysvrlugawp.bsky.social writes. "It’s another for that team to make things difficult for itself." www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2025/...

Can confirm the Commanders are signing DE Drake Jackson.

Jackson is an ex-49er, coming off a knee injury. Was a second-round pick back in 2022 but is still just 24 years old.

Believe it or not, he shares a birthday (date and year) with Bill Croskey-Merritt.

#Commanders QB Jayden Daniels on his fumble: "I’m not finna sit up here and blame it on the elements. At the end of the day, I got to focus. ... I had a lack of focus right there and it cost us the game.”

After Jayden Daniels’s late fumble, the Bears stun the Commanders
After Daniels’s miscue, Jake Moody’s field goal on the final play gave Chicago a 25-24 win as the late-game dramatics went the Bears’ way this year.

Daniels couldn't put his finger on a reason why the #Commanders' offense has gotten off to slow starts so often this season.

"We just need to execute better," he said.

Jayden Daniels said the fourth quarter fumble was his fault. Added that he didn't give Bill a chance on the play.

Laremy Tunsil said he felt like the #Commanders offense was moving the ball well, but turnovers ultimately did them in. They had 3 all season coming into this week; they matched that number against the Bears.

Jacory Croskey-Merritt says he's still got a lot of confidence in himself, but knows he's got to "be better" coming off his recent fumbles.

The Bears' FG is good, and the #Commanders lose 25-24. They fall to 3-3.

On 3rd-and-1, Daniels fumbled it on the handoff exchange. Pivotal mistake.

McNichols converted 3rd-and-13 on a checkdown. Crazy.
tashanreed.bsky.social
The Bears go 3-and-out. #Commanders' offense will have a chance to ice it here.
tashanreed.bsky.social
Daniels threw it away on 3rd-and-9. #Commanders will punt.
tashanreed.bsky.social
Daniels pass on 3rd-and-4 was incomplete, but Brisker got flagged for hitting him low.

The Bears' two-point conversion attempt is no good, so #Commanders still lead 24-22.

On 3rd down, Swift breaks a tackle on a short pass and races away for a 55-yard score. Wow.

Daniels puts it on the money to Zach Ertz in the back of the end zone for another TD

The #Commanders blocked the Bears' FG. Enormous play.

Williams bobbled the snap on 3rd-and-1. #Commanders hold again.
tashanreed.bsky.social
The #Commanders have their first lead of the game, 17-16.

The Bears got completely fooled by that fake and Luke McCaffrey got left wide open. Daniels hit him for the easy TD.

Daniels' pass went off Moore's hands on 3rd-and-2. The #Commanders went for it on 4th down and Daniels moved the chains on a throw to Jeremy McNichols.

Washington trails 16-10.

And then Williams is sacked on third down by Armstrong, who came back in this drive. Huge red zone stop for the #Commanders.
