The Bears couldn't overcome a multitude of mistakes Thursday night, including a pair of costly turnovers and no points on three red-zone possessions, in a 12-7 loss to the Commanders at Soldier Field. The Bears (2-4) had a chance to take the lead in the final minute of the game following a missed 48-yard field goal by Commanders kicker Joey Slye that gave the offense the ball at their 38 with 1:49 to go. Quarterback Justin Fields scrambled 39 yards down the left side of the field to reach Washington's 5. But on fourth-and-goal from the 4, Fields threw to receiver Darnell Mooney, who caught it short of the goal line, sealing the win for the Commanders (2-4)."Our defense did an outstanding job of rising up there when we didn't get that fourth down and forcing a missed field goal," coach Matt Eberflus said. "And then we drove it all the way down the length of the field to give ourselves a chance to win it at the end there, and then didn't punch it in."While the Bears didn't score until the third quarter, they had two red-zone opportunities in the first half. On the team's second drive of the game, Fields was picked off at the Washington 5 on a pass intended for tight end Cole Kmet. The following Bears possession resulted in a turnover on downs after Fields overthrew tight end Ryan Griffin in the end zone on third-and-goal from the 1 and running back Khalil Herbert was stopped short on fourth-and-goal."Finish, that's it," Fields said of the missed red-zone opportunities. "That's the jist of the whole game: finish. We didn't finish. Missed a wide-open touchdown pass, didn't finish. Fourth-and-1, handed the ball off to [Herbert], couldn't finish it. Last play, couldn't finish it. There's multiple plays in that game that we could've made to change the whole game, but the summary of it all is we didn't finish. It doesn't matter if you drive all the way down to the 5-, 1-yard line and don't score. It's the same thing as a three-and-out and you punt inside the 10. It's the same thing. So just the biggest thing is just finishing."Washington's go-ahead touchdown in the fourth quarter came after receiver Velus Jones Jr. muffed a punt at the Bears' 6. Running back Brian Robinson Jr. had a 1-yard TD run to put the Commanders up 12-7. Fields completed 14 of 27 passes for 190 yards while rushing for 88 yards. Running backs Herbert and David Montgomery added 75 and 67 yards on the ground, respectively. Commanders quarterback Carson Wentz completed 12 of 22 passes for 99 yards; Robinson totaled 60 rushing yards on 17 carries and a score. On the Bears' second possession, the offense was driving downfield as Fields connected with Kmet for 15 yards then receiver Dante Pettis for 19 yards. But after reaching the Washington 5, Fields' pass intended for Kmet was tipped by end Efe Obada then intercepted by tackle Jonathan Allen. The Bears defense didn't let the Commanders capitalize as linebacker Roquan Smith sacked Wentz on third down for a loss of 5 yards.
