The Washington Commanders [2-4] snapped a four-game losing streak in Week 6 with a 12-7 win over the Chicago Bears. The Commanders lost starting quarterback Carson Wentz for at least the next four weeks with a fractured finger on his throwing hand, opening the door for Taylor Heinicke’s return.
During Washington’s first six games, Wentz was good in three games and disastrous in the other three games. There is optimism surrounding Heinicke due to his mobility and mastery of the offense. Washington’s players believe they can win with Heinicke.
The Packers enter Sunday’s game, having lost two consecutive games.
