Monday Night Football Week 6: Where and How to Watch Chicago Bears vs. Washington Commanders, Live Stream, and Broadcast Details

The Chicago Bears are back in action after a bye week with an important fixture against the Washington Commanders. The Bears, who are 2-2 after five weeks, will be looking to start the long stretch of their campaign with an away win.

That’s not just it. The meeting on Monday will be the first time the two franchises meet after the Hail Maryland game. The Bears and Commanders played one of the most iconic games of the last season, often dubbed Hail Maryland, Miracle in Maryland, or the Madhouse in Maryland. They return to the same venue where Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels threw a Hail Mary pass for a touchdown in the final seconds of the game to secure a win.

The Bears, who held a 4-2 record, stumbled in Week 8 to Washington Commanders, which kicked off a 10-gamelosing streak. The streak matched their worst record in their history. If there’s any more coincidence needed, that game happened coming off a bye week.

This also would be the fourth time in a row that Bears and Commanders will be playing each other. Overall, they have played 54 games in history including seven postseason games. The Commanders have won 28 of those games while the Bears won 25 games.

Why can the Chicago Bears win?

The Chicago Bears are not the best team in the league, but they aren’t the team from last year. Under Ben Johnson, the Bears are a team that can silence opponents like they did in Week 4 against the Las Vegas Raiders.

The Bears are significantly better on last-minute drives, which will be a key element in their game against the Commanders. Last year, it came down to the last minute, and those moments decided the game. More than half of the games this season was decided by the difference of one touchdown score. In light of this statistic, the Bears QB Caleb Williams has gotten exponentially better this season.

The Bears’ defense will also play an important role. They were fourth in the league, ahead of the start of Week 6, in terms of turnovers, with five so far.

Why can the Washington Commanders win?

The Washington Commanders have one of the best rushing attacks in the league. With Jayden Daniels back in action, the Commanders will be looking forward to adding one more win to the column. Ahead of the week, they led the league with 156.4 yards per game.

Though the Bears’ run defense got a much-needed boost after the bye week. However, the unit has struggled all season due to an underperforming defensive line. With Grady Jarrett unlikely to play, the front may be even less effective. Against the first-ranked rushing offense, the Bears might stumble to contain the ground game.

Daniels is dangerous on designed runs and scrambles, while rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt has been explosive, leading the NFL with 6.6 yards per carry. Notably, he didn’t receive more than 10 carries in a game until last week’s win over the Chargers.
