LANDOVER, Md. -- For a while, it felt like Chicago's Week 6 win at Washington was going to play out like the last time the Bears were on Monday Night Football to start the season, with a loss to the Minnesota Vikings.
The Bears had a double-digital lead on the Commanders and squandered it off a combination of blown coverages, settling for field goals over touchdowns, penalties and overall sloppy play.
But this time, nearing the one-year anniversary of the Bears' last trip to Northwest Stadium that ended in devastation on a Hail Mary, Chicago capitalized off its opponent's late-game mistake and came away with a 25-24 win to mark back-to-back victories on the road.
