Talk about déjà vu.
Exactly 357 days ago, the Washington Commanders (-6)
and Chicago Bears (+6) faced off on Thursday Night Football.
It wasn’t pretty.
To be fair, last year’s tilt between Washington and Chicago wasn’t as ugly as Amazon’s field goal exhibition between Denver and Indianapolis the previous week, but that’s not really saying a lot.
The first half of last year’s game went like this: Punt, punt, interception, punt, turnover on downs, punt, punt, punt, punt, field goal, end of half.
The second half was better, but not exponentially so: Punt, touchdown, field goal, punt, punt, touchdown (courtesy of a muffed punt that was recovered at Chicago’s 6-yard line), turnover on downs, missed field goal, turnover on downs, end of game.
