In Week 5, the Chicago Bears are on the hunt for their first victory having most recently surrendered a 21-point lead against the Broncos.
They prepare to face the Washington Commanders, who are 2-2, at FedEx Field on Thursday night. This matchup sees a battle between two young quarterbacks, with Bears' Justin Fields going head-to-head with Commanders rookie Sam Howell.
Both teams are seeking to bounce back after successive losses and it's worth noting that the Commanders emerged victorious with a 12-7 scoreline the last time these two teams met on a Thursday night in Week 6 of the 2022 season.
