A wet and wild Monday night game between the Chicago Bears and Washington Commanders became a thriller between two of the NFL’s oldest franchises.
Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels fumbled a handoff late in the fourth quarter, allowing the Bears’ defense to recover. Caleb Williams and D’Andre Swift led the offense down the field, setting up a field goal attempt by Jake Moody. It was Moody’s first day in the squad as the team signed him as a replacement for the injured Cairo Santos.

With three seconds left and the fog steadily rising, Moody hit a 38-yard field goal to give the Bears a 25-24 victory. Chicago improved to 3-2 with the win, while the Commanders fell to 3-3.
The Bears took an early 13-0 lead in the first half. Moody seemed to be in good shape. He made two field goals and Caleb Williams ran for a touchdown early in the second quarter.
The Commanders took the Bears’ lead when Daniels threw a 22-yard touchdown pass to Chris Moore. After an eight-play, 25-yard drive in the third quarter that ended with a Matt Gay field goal, Washington scored more points.
After Moody made his third field goal of the night, the Bears offense fell silent.
Daniels led back-to-back scoring drives at the end of the third quarter and beginning of the fourth quarter. He found Luke McCaffrey for a 33-yard touchdown pass and then fired a 6-yard touchdown pass Zach Ertz.
Williams and the Bears didn’t stay down long. The second-year quarterback hit Swift with a short pass. Swift missed a couple of Commanders defenders and ran for a 55-yard touchdown. Chicago missed a 2-point conversion and trailed by two points.

Moody was on track with his field goal attempts, although one was blocked.
He was cut from the San Francisco 49ers just weeks into the 2025 season despite having a place in the record books during Super Bowl LVIII.
Moody turned around and etched his name in the Bears’ record books, making the most field goals in a Bears debut with four, according to ESPN.

“It’s always good to have a fresh start. I always believed in myself and my teammates. Kudos to (long snapper Scott Daly) and (owner Tory Taylor).
Williams was 17 of 29 with 252 passing yards and one touchdown pass. He completed passes to eight different receivers. Swift led the team with two catches for 67 yards. Luther Burden III had four catches for 51 yards.
Swift also had 14 carries for 108 yards.
