Commanders took pieces Bears didn't want, then lapped them in race to rebuild

The Commanders have everything the Bears want.

In just the second season of their rebuild — the Bears are in Year 4, if anyone’s still bothering to count — they’re indisputably on the right track. They went 12-5 and reached the NFC title game last season and are 3-2 heading into their game Monday against the Bears.

The hardest part of that for the Bears to accept is that the Commanders have done it with key pieces the Bears could’ve had: coach Dan Quinn, offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury and quarterback Jayden Daniels.
