"In slippery conditions, needing one yard for a first down to potentially ice the game, Kliff Kingsbury had Jayden Daniels in the shotgun. The snap was brought in, but the handoff to Jacory Croskey-Merritt was botched, and the Bears picked up the fumble. The rest is history. Kicker Jake Moody, who'd been called up from the practice squad, made the field goal as time expired. The Bears pulled off a stunning success, leaving the Commanders at 3-3 when they could have easily been 4-2."
"There is plenty of blame to go around. There is also no time to wallow in self-pity. A trip to the Dallas Cowboys is on the immediate horizon, which now looks like a must-win game for both squads as the respective seasons teeter. That's for the not-too-distant future. For now, here are three winners and four losers from Washington's third defeat of the campaign."
The Chicago Bears defeated the Washington Commanders after a late-game fumble on a botched shotgun handoff set up a game-winning field goal by Jake Moody as time expired. Washington started poorly, rallied to trade leads, and saw Dan Quinn's squad seize control in the fourth quarter before the turnover. The loss left the Commanders 3-3 instead of potentially 4-2 and turns the upcoming trip to the Dallas Cowboys into a must-win opportunity. Responsibility for the defeat is distributed across the roster, and concerns about veteran Bobby Wagner's decreasing range were noted.
