Jake Moody, elevated from the Bears’ practice squad hours before kickoff due to Cairo Santos’ thigh injury, drilled a 38-yard walk-off to beat the Commanders in drenched, windy conditions. He finished 4-for-5, with 47, 48 and 41-yard makes before the closing kick, giving Chicago its second straight walk-off win this season. Moody’s debut followed a stint with the 49ers, where misses and a quick cut preceded a rapid baptism in Chicago’s high-leverage moments.

D’Andre Swift led the offense with 175 yards from scrimmage and a TD as Chicago leaned on the ground game late. DJ Moore left the stadium in an ambulance for precautionary medical evaluation after a hit, while Moody credited Santos for wind and surface tips. The Bears’ surge, built on Swift’s production and Moody’s 4-for-5 display, signals a surprising late-season kicking resurgence amid a tense, unsettled Week.

Jake Moody's 38-yard game-winner capped a chaotic Bears debut after a sleepless night and a scalding hotel shower. He filled in for an injured Cairo Santos and, with unfamiliar teammates watching, delivered when it mattered most.

Moody, a former 49ers hopeful, went 4 of 5 on field goals with one extra point as Chicago survived windy conditions. Swift and Williams publicly backed him, highlighting a rapid lock-in of trust and signaling a potential shift in Chicago’s kicking narrative going forward.

Daniels delivered a strong showing for Washington, but two costly plays decided the game as Chicago escaped with a 25-24 win. A red-zone interception to Deebo Samuel and a late, mis-handled handoff to Jacory Croskey-Merritt erased the momentum from Washington’s comeback. The Commanders rallied from a 13-0 hole to take a 24-16 lead, yet the turnover denied them a chance to ice it.

Daniels owned the mistakes and pledged to learn, emphasizing focus over conditions while highlighting leadership that kept Washington competitive. Fantasy managers should weigh the upside of a high-powered offense against the risk of critical errors in tough matchups, with Daniels remaining a realistic, weather-proof QB2 with upside in favorable games.

Turnovers decide Monday night as Washington falls 25-24 to Chicago on a last-second field goal.

Daniels was superb outside the turnovers, raising his accuracy and threat with his legs, but a red-zone interception and a late mishandled handoff doomed the drive and left the defense chasing a finish.

Washington's ground game failed to impose and the run defense capitulated in crunch time, while Kliff Kingsbury's pistol call near the end drew scrutiny as the team faced a final, decisive moment.
