Washington dropped to 3-3 after a 25-24 loss to Chicago, hampered by two turnovers from Jayden Daniels and a run game that never found rhythm. The defense also struggled to bottle up the run, setting up a late Bears drive for the winning field goal.

Chris Moore sparked some life with a 46-yard day and his first NFL TD since 2022, while Luke McCaffrey flashed in limited reps with a 33-yard TD setup. Washington shocks and shifts as Drake Jackson joins the edge rotation and injuries to Terry McLaurin and Noah Brown loom ahead of a pivotal Week 7 showdown.

The Bears, led by Caleb Williams and a Swift-led ground game, punctuated the win with a 55-yard catch-and-run TD and capitalized on Washington miscues. Washington now faces Dallas with questions on personnel, health, and execution at key moments.

Washington Commanders face a short week after a 25-24 Monday-night loss to Chicago, highlighting a costly turnover pattern and a defense that couldn’t slow the run on the Bears’ game-winning drive. The miscue-filled night, capped by a late handoff fumble, forces quick recalibration as they prepare for Dallas. Coaches push accounting for all phases while Jayden Daniels seeks footing in a hostile environment, with Cosmi, Brown, and McLaurin poised to boost the offense in a pivotal week.

Fantasy managers should watch Daniels’ turnover risk, Terry McLaurin’s target share, and Noah Brown’s trajectory if he returns to full speed. Washington will lean on Payne’s interior disruptiveness and a leaner, cleaner game plan to challenge a Cowboys squad that thrives in high-scoring, late-decider showdowns. Returns and ball-security will shape Week 7 projections.
