Final Score and Game Overview
Chicago started quickly, scoring the game’s first 13 points. Washington then worked its way back through three touchdown passes from Daniels, taking its first lead late in the third quarter.

Chicago Bears vs Washington Commanders Match Player Stats
The quarterback comparison shows why passing touchdowns alone do not explain the result. Daniels threw three, but Williams generated more passing yardage and finished without an interception.
Quarterback comparison
| Player | Completions/Attempts | Passing yards | Passing TDs | Interceptions | Passer rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Caleb Williams, Chicago | 17/29 | 252 | 1 | 0 | 98.6 |
| Jayden Daniels, Washington | 19/26 | 211 | 3 | 1 | 119.2 |
Daniels completed 73.1% of his passes, compared with Williams’ 58.6%. He also contributed 52 rushing yards, giving Washington another way to move the ball when passing opportunities closed.
Williams added a one-yard rushing touchdown. His passing production included several substantial gains, helping Chicago overcome a lower completion percentage.
Leading rushing performances
| Player | Team | Carries | Rushing yards | Yards per carry |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| D’Andre Swift | Bears | 14 | 108 | 7.7 |
| Jacory Croskey-Merritt | Commanders | 17 | 61 | 3.6 |
| Jayden Daniels | Commanders | 10 | 52 | 5.2 |
| Kyle Monangai | Bears | 5 | 19 | 3.8 |
Swift produced the strongest rushing performance despite receiving fewer carries than Croskey-Merritt. His efficiency gave Chicago valuable gains without requiring Williams to carry every possession through the air.
Receiving Leaders and Touchdown Targets
Swift led Chicago in receiving yardage as well as rushing yardage. Luther Burden III caught the most passes for the Bears, while Zach Ertz led Washington in receptions.
| Player | Team | Receptions | Receiving yards | Receiving TDs |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| D’Andre Swift | Bears | 2 | 67 | 1 |
| Luther Burden III | Bears | 4 | 51 | 0 |
| DJ Moore | Bears | 3 | 42 | 0 |
| Rome Odunze | Bears | 2 | 32 | 0 |
| Chris Moore | Commanders | 3 | 46 | 1 |
| Zach Ertz | Commanders | 6 | 43 | 1 |
| Jaylin Lane | Commanders | 1 | 37 | 0 |
| Luke McCaffrey | Commanders | 1 | 33 | 1 |
Washington spread its touchdown passes among Chris Moore, Luke McCaffrey, and Ertz. Lane also supplied a major gain, turning his only reception into 37 yards.
Chicago received useful contributions beyond its leading receivers. Rookie running back Kyle Monangai caught a 25-yard pass, while Colston Loveland finished with two catches for 11 yards.
Deebo Samuel caught four passes but gained only 15 yards. Washington involved him regularly, yet those receptions produced less yardage than the team’s downfield completions.
D’Andre Swift’s Impact Went Beyond His Touchdown
Swift’s biggest scoring play arrived with Chicago trailing 24-16. He turned a short pass into a 55-yard touchdown, bringing the Bears within two points with 10:26 remaining.
Chicago failed on the subsequent two-point conversion, leaving Washington ahead 24-22. That meant the Bears still needed another possession and another score.
Swift then helped finish the comeback. On Chicago’s final drive, he carried five times for 34 yards, including gains of 10 and 15 yards that moved the offense into field-goal range.
His combination of rushing and receiving production made him Chicago’s most influential offensive player that night. He supplied both the explosive play that narrowed the deficit and the late rushing gains that positioned Moody to win it.
Turnovers Changed the Game’s Direction
Washington lost the turnover battle 3-0. Chicago intercepted Daniels once and recovered two Washington fumbles, creating opportunities that proved especially valuable in a one-point game.
Jaquan Brisker recorded the interception. Montez Sweat also forced a fumble by Croskey-Merritt, helping Chicago establish its early advantage.
The final takeaway came with 3:07 remaining. On third-and-one, a handoff exchange between Daniels and Jeremy McNichols broke down, and Nahshon Wright recovered at Chicago’s 44-yard line.
Washington had been positioned to extend its possession and consume more time. Instead, Chicago took over needing only a field goal to move ahead.
The Bears’ pass rush contributed as well. Gervon Dexter Sr. recorded 1.5 sacks, matching his career high at the time. Chicago’s defense combined pressure with possession-changing plays rather than relying on sacks alone.
Jake Moody and the Final Drive
Moody made four of five field-goal attempts in his Bears debut, replacing the injured Cairo Santos. His successful kicks came from 47, 48, 41, and 38 yards.
His unsuccessful attempt was blocked by Daron Payne. That special-teams play helped Washington preserve its advantage before Chicago’s late rally.
After Wright’s recovery, the Bears moved 36 yards in nine plays. Williams kept the possession alive with a six-yard completion to Loveland on third-and-five, and Swift handled much of the remaining work on the ground.
Moody’s final kick completed the comeback at the clock’s expiration. Chicago earned its third consecutive victory through contributions from its offense, defense, and kicking game, with each unit making a decisive play during the closing stretch.
