The Bears stunned Northwest Stadium , rallying from an eight-point deficit in the fourth quarter to grab the victory. Jake Moody was the unlikely hero as he kicked in the game-winning field goal from 38 yards in his debut with Chicago.
The Commanders had the chance to put the game away in their final drive, but Jayden Daniels fumbled the ball. Nashon Wright made the recovery to give the ball back to Chicago, setting up Moody's heroic play .
The Bears improved to 3-2, while the Commanders fell to 3-3.
Moody, who played for only the second time this season, went 4-of-5 for 13 points. He was waived by the San Francisco 49ers last month after appearing in their season opener. He signed with the Bears' practice squad before being activated a day before facing the Commanders .
