Former Washington Commanders and current Chicago Bears defensive end Montez Sweat got revenge on his former team late in the first quarter. Sweat punched the ball out on Commanders rookie running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt, putting the Bears in Washington territory.

The Bears' game-winning drive was set up by a Jayden Daniels fumble on a hand-off to Jacory Crosley-Merritt with 3:10 left. On third-and-1, Daniels mishandled the exchange, and the Bears recovered at their own 44. D'Andre Swift took over from there, rushing for 34 yards on the final drive to set up Moody's kick.
