Last week’s Thursday Night Football game between the Indianapolis Colts and the Denver Broncos didn’t score a single TD, and it looked like tonight’s game was heading in that direction after a 3-0 1st half. The Bears scored the game’s first TD, but the Commanders came back with a field goal and a touchdown in the 4th quarter. The TD was Brian Robinson’s first of his NFL career. Washington had the chance to make it an 8 point game with 1:49 left in the game, but Joey Slye missed the 48 yard FG attempt. The Bears got the ball back and a Justin Fields run took them down to the 6 yard line. The Bears took it to 4th down, but were stopped, giving the Commanders the victory. They are now 2-4 and heading back to FedEx Field to host Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers.

Terry McLaurin fumble:
That might be one of the most athletic fumble recoveries I have ever seen.
— Scott Abraham (@Scott7news) October 14, 2022
Well done, Terry McLaurin
Carson Wentz rollout:
The #Bears didn't even blitz on that third down, like they were earlier in the game and still got a sack.
— Chris Russell AKA the ! (@Russellmania621) October 14, 2022
For all of you "move the pocket' guys -- Wentz rolled right into that one. Just like a lot of mobile/stiff QB's do.
That might have been the ugliest third-and-two you are EVER going to see by a real life, modern-day offense.
— Chris Russell AKA the ! (@Russellmania621) October 14, 2022
Woof. #Commanders
Scott Turner/Carson Wentz:
Maybe Scott Turner moved to the booth to prevent him screaming at Carson on the sideline?
— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) October 14, 2022
Scott Turner is doing everything he can to fire laser beams out of his eyeballs at 11

No challenge:
Why didn't Ron Rivera challen an obvious drop? Would've been a 3rd and 7 for the worst passing team in the NFL.

Throw your flag. Youre not calling plays. This is your gig in-game! How does that happen?

12 men on the field penalty again:
The Commanders had 12 players on the field for an entire play for the send tike tonight. They still gave up a TD.
— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) October 14, 2022
I'm not sure which of those sentences is more unacceptable.
Questionable TD catch?:
I didn’t think he had control of the ball https://t.co/Xm6YohaqNx
— Scott Abraham (@Scott7news) October 14, 2022
I've watched the #Bears TD about eight or nine times.
— Chris Russell AKA the ! (@Russellmania621) October 14, 2022
Initially, I didn't think Pettis had possession and both feet down but after super slowing it down - it appears he did.
And obviously they didn't see enough to overturn the call#Commanders
Cole Turner blocking:
Nice downfield block from Cole Turner to really spring Gibson
— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) October 14, 2022
Much more aggression on that block by Cole Turner. Way to attack that block!

Antonio Gibson looking spry and shifty.

Failed screen play:
Nice setup for a Antonio Gibson screen -- but three blockers failed to stop one defender.
— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) October 14, 2022
Wentz was off balance and threw inaccurate to Gibson on that screen. Awesome design to fake the option to Samuel and come back. Blocked really well too. Good throw may have let Gibson score. #Commanders
— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) October 14, 2022
Triple option into a screen pass? What is going on lol
— Paul Conner (@P_ConnerJr) October 14, 2022
4th Quarter
False start:
Inexcusable false start on 3rd and G by Sims. This team......#HTTC
— Commanders Wire (@Washington_Wire) October 14, 2022
How do you have a pre-snap penalty on a play that was coming out of a timeout (or in this case, a quarter break)?

Field goal:
Washington chips away at the Bears' lead with a 28-yard field goal, ending a 13-play, 65-yard drive. The score: CHI 7, WAS 6

Justin Fields 1st down:
The one thing you can't have happen there. Give up QB run on 3rd and 8.

Bad penalty on Benjamin St-Juste:

Fields sacked on third down by Allen. Doesn't matter as Commanders called for illegal hands to the face in the secondary. You can't make this stuff up. #HTTC
