Washington Commanders and Chicago Bears Set to Clash at FedExField
As the Washington Commanders prepare to host the Chicago Bears at FedExField, fans are eager for a glimpse of what could unfold on the gridiron. The Commanders have had a rollercoaster season so far, but their recent performance against the Philadelphia Eagles on October 1st suggests they're finding their rhythm. Despite falling short with a score of 31-34, there were flashes of brilliance that could be harbingers of success in their upcoming game.
The offensive unit showed resilience and versatility against the Eagles. With 290 passing yards and a completion percentage rounding up to 71 percent, it's clear that when given time in the pocket, Washington's quarterback can dissect defenses effectively. The rushing attack added another layer of potency with over 100 yards and two touchdowns. This balanced offense will be crucial when facing Chicago's defense.
However, it wasn't just about scoring points; Washington's defense applied pressure consistently, recording three sacks and forcing one fumble. They'll need this same tenacity to disrupt Chicago’s offense which has been known for its unpredictability this season.
In contrast to their promising performance against Philadelphia, Washington’s game on September 24th versus Buffalo Bills was less than stellar at FedExField itself. They were held to just three points while giving up nine sacks and throwing four interceptions – an area that must be addressed if they are to capitalize on home-field advantage against the Bears.
But let’s not dwell too much on past shortcomings; instead let’s look back at September 17th when Washington secured a thrilling victory over Denver Broncos with a scoreline of 35-33. That day showcased what this team is capable of: explosive plays both through air (299 passing yards) and ground (122 rushing yards), coupled with an aggressive defense that tallied seven sacks.
The key takeaway here is consistency – something that has eluded WAS thus far into the season but seems within reach considering their latest outings. If they can maintain discipline in protecting their quarterback from being sacked as often as he was against Buffalo while replicating defensive efforts seen in Denver and Philadelphia games, then fans should feel optimistic about taking down Chicago Bears come game day.
Looking ahead to October 6th at FedExField scheduled for kickoff at 8:15 PM Eastern Time (ET), supporters should mark their calendars for what promises to be an enthralling matchup under Landover lights – available exclusively via Amazon Prime Video streaming services.
