There was a play midway through the fourth quarter of the Washington Commanders’ frustrating loss to the Chicago Bears that will not show up on the stat sheet. However, it was representative of an increasing problem for Dan Quinn’s team.
Washington was clinging to a two-point lead when Tress Way pinned the Bears deep with one of his typically efficient punts.
Beginning a drive from their own nine-yard line, Caleb Williams tossed a short pass to Cole Kmet in the right flat. Commanders nickel corner Mike Sainristil had coverage on the play. He closed quickly and hit the tight end high.
