Commanders feeling the strain as key injuries threaten to derail crucial stretch
"Washington was also playing with a depleted array of receiving weapons once again. Terry McLaurin missed his third consecutive contest and Noah Brown his fourth, after both were deemed hopeful earlier in the week. Brown didn't get a chance to add to his legacy against the Bears, the team he caught the game-winning Hail Mary against as time expired last year. McLaurin's loss was much more significant, and it felt as if his availability could have made the difference."
"Credit to Chris Moore, who had by far his best game in Washington after a tumultuous preseason and first five weeks. But when he's your leading receiver with 46 yards, that's not a winning recipe. Luke McCaffrey hauled in a 33-yard touchdown on a busted coverage, and Jaylin Lane snagged a 37-yard dime from Jayden Daniels in the third quarter. Beyond those two plays, the Commanders only consistently moved the ball through the air on checkdowns to Zach Ertz."
The Washington Commanders dropped to 3-3 after a Monday Night Football loss to the Chicago Bears, marred by three turnovers and a missed field goal. The receiving corps remained depleted as Terry McLaurin missed his third straight game and Noah Brown his fourth, limiting offensive options. Chris Moore led with 46 yards, while Luke McCaffrey and Jaylin Lane produced explosive plays but overall production was sparse. Deebo Samuel Sr. totaled four catches for 15 yards while battling a heel issue. Two late drives with a lead ended in a punt and a fumble. Persistent drizzle also hampered the passing attack.
