Get ready for an intense football showdown! The Chicago Bears' revenge is sweet as they take down the Washington Commanders in a thrilling comeback victory.
In a dramatic turn of events, the Bears rallied from an eight-point deficit in the fourth quarter, securing their third consecutive win. And here's where it gets controversial... it all came down to a crucial fumble by Jayden Daniels.
On October 13th, 2025, at 11:22 pm ET, the Bears' Jake Moody, who was cut by the 49ers after a rough start, redeemed himself with a game-winning 38-yard field goal as time expired. But it was Daniels' fumble with just over three minutes left that set up the Bears' game-winning drive.
And this is the part most people miss: D'Andre Swift's incredible performance. He rushed for 34 yards on the final drive, showcasing his talent and determination. Swift's overall stats for the night were impressive, with 175 yards from scrimmage and a remarkable 7.7 yards per carry.
Moody, in his first game on the Bears' active roster, hit four out of five field goals, with his only miss being a blocked attempt. But he made up for it, sealing the deal for Chicago.
