Chicago Bears vs Washington Commanders Game Highlights - 2025 NFL Season Week 6

As the top weapon for Caleb Williams fires over the middle and the former commander Zaccheaus is good for 11. Second down and six back to swift. And another first down for Chicago. Times the knot he's not had anywhere to go with the football but that was a nice change of pace. On first down swift as they drop it off to a blockers out in front another first down spinning to the 35 on third down quick throw and that's not there. Burton was in the area. Former third round pick by the 49ers. First kick with Chicago is drilled. Gordon back one of the most dynamic nickel corners in the game. His first game of the season. Fastball complete and a first down to Chris Moore. He's trying to clean things up and then you got Keith Kingsbury doing the same. Samuel dives got it. First down Washington. Second down and five. End zone picked off. Intercepted by Brisker. Samuel was the target and Brisker's out near the 35. And a 33 yard return. Samuel the target. One thing one of the few things that this defense has done well is create the takeaway. Quick throw D.J. Moore behind the line of scrimmage and a catch and run for a first down. Yeah they general you know the run game has been a bit of a problem. Williams fires and he's got D.J. Moore. Good throw from Caleb Williams and Moore with a sliding catch for 18. So much air in the ball down the field as much as it was between the 10 and 20 yard passes and then run. Here's play action and this one dropped off for Cole Komet. Now third down and 20. Williams underneath D.J. Moore long way to go. Won't get there. Said former third round pick by the 49ers and his inconsistency led to his release. And playing the wind able to knock it through from 48. So back to first and 10. Kroski Merritt left side well played by Chicago ball out. You know ran like a guy who was wanting to prove himself. We'll see what Dan Quinn does on their next possession. On first down. Nice adjustment on that throw and the pass complete to Odunze for a first down down to Laurel we go. Second down and five. Swift right up the gut. First and goal near the six. Caleb takes it gets a block from Swift and is in for the touchdown. Already and Swift was out there leading the way. Yeah, I think Caleb Williams thought he was going to get a little better block than DeAndre Swift. It looked initially like Williams would just walk in. But Swift just wasn't quite able to. For the most part he's done well but he's got to make amends now. He'll play action here and to the sideline good throw good catch and a first down for Washington. 14 yards. Yeah, he's got two catches on two targets. Came in with three catches on the season little razzle dazzle spin around handoff is to Lane on that little toss. And the rookie Jalen Lane the rookie from Virginia Tech at seven. Like the way he was protecting himself better sliding getting down. Throwing the ball away a little bit more. Here's McNichols first down Washington. Gain of four. Pretty much brand new coming out of the box on game day. Second down and ten now. Blitz. End zone. More. Spinning try. Touchdown is the call. Here's the end of it. And that right leg gets down. One knee equals two feet. It sure does as John Madden once said and he's he's cradling it. You know it hits him in the face mask. It wasn't the cleanest catch but he cradled it all the way down to the ground. Boy that was a thing of beauty. On third down Caleb Williams Capes goes and he's got it turned on the Jets. Extra man on the rush. They toss it to Swift. Nice cut back and he's short of first down yardage by about a yard and a half. Roshon Johnson in the backfield. They fake it to him. Pass is tipped. Commander's ball off the hand of Lou Boo. And maybe that one yard challenge by Dan Quinn ended up being the difference on that possession. There you go. Here is a completion over the middle. Groski Merritt gets it and picks up the first down. And they believe he's that good. Coming off a big game against the Chargers. Takes it over the right side. And out of bounds with another Washington first down. A game of twelve. The only thing now is after last week and tonight, like I said, you know, you just can't put the ball on the ground as a running back. Here's a nice completion to Ertz for a first down. McNichols. Well played by the Chicago defense as T.J. Edwards came over and he was not alone. It'll be a 50-yard try by Matt Gay. Good snap, good hold. Kick is off the upright. Third down and five. Blitz. Williams stays alive. Chased by Armstrong and now knocked at the sideline and out of bounds. Joe, I mean. No way. There's no way. We haven't even really talked about that somehow already. Here's Luke McCaffrey on the return. Good return. Knocked down at the 40. Over twice early and trail by six from the 40. Daniels underneath. Able to complete. Ertz tries to throw a stiff arm. Kind of whiffed a bit on Tremaine Edmonds. Great to see Noah able to get up and get off the field under his own power. Second and ten. Play action. Daniels steps through trouble. Still and a first down. What a good run by the second year quarterback from LSU. On third and long this year. Really third down in general but especially third and long. Underneath and Meg Nichols can't make the catch. 53-yard attempt and able to knock it through. Last year had a great postseason three and a half sacks during the playoffs. Five this year. Wide open as a doomsday. And he takes it up near midfield. Knocked down near the 48. From the 48. Play action. Over the middle. It's Burden. Luther Burden makes a move after the catch. And out of bounds near the 15. Yeah, 58 yards for those two pass plays combined. Here's a ball tipped and it drops to the turf as Seymour still. I thought maybe they were calling the wide receiver because he wasn't off but I agree. Well that takes a touchdown away. A doomsday made that catch in the end zone. And now Williams gets sacked by Armstrong. Makes a big time play there. High snap kick from Moody is good and he's Crosby Merritt with a nice run. Strong run by the rookie. Bayard made the stop. He's 350 pounds but still making a guy like him miss. Daniels with play action. Great protection and now he'll go. Breaking tackles and a nice game. They snap it. Looking left. McNichols with the catch. And the conversion for a first down. Talked about as much but a valuable guy. Daniels wide open for the touchdown. McCaffrey. Everyone's in zone. He jumps Debo Samuel thinking that that's where the ball's going on the quick screen and just totally after being down like he said 13 points in this game. Swift breaks through and gets hit by Reeves but a big carry by DeAndre Swift as he gets 14 yards. This offensive line has really done a nice job overall. Here is Mnungai on a screen blocking in front. Down inside the 35. Quick throw burden. Luther Burden is a yard short of a first down. He got nine. Paid off on that last play. The snap juggled and down goes Caleb Williams at the end of the third quarter. It blocked. Blocked by Washington. It really low Joe. It didn't look like there was all that much push inside and you know it it came off so flat and two of the big guys in the middle might have been Kinlaw. Kinlaw got an arm on it and Dan Quinn celebrates his special team's play and Duran Payne. The two big guys in the middle got up. Second down and seven. Daniels Ertz makes the catch and a nice game. First down as Brisker and Gordon combine on the stop at a catch and run of 12. Daniels protected looking downfield flag on the play and Lane with a catch. That double move was about as good as you'll watch. Second down and goal now for the commanders over the middle caught for the touchdown Zach Ertz. TJ Edwards here in the middle. He's worried about Debo Samuel over here. Ertz is going to come but because TJ Edwards is working the other way, it opens up that big lane then for Zach Ertz and just great execution. Perfect throw. It sets this drive up perfectly and here's Swift on a delayed handoff fighting and he's had a nice night still going. They just got it away and it's Swift with a catch and still going. DeAndre Swift veers into the end zone. Play clock expired. They barely get it off. DJ Moore, he's going to take out two guys. So, as he pushes up, he runs one defender into the defender who's supposed to be covering DeAndre Swift and that's why Swift was as open as he is and then you make one guy miss and now with his speed, he's off to the races. So, just some luck on Chicago's part. 0 for 1 on the season. Two-point tries and Williams in trouble. Throws back and incomplete for Zaccheaus. Commanders need yards here on third down and ten. Pressure, trouble, and Daniels just throws it away. An end to this year but yeah, that's a veteran receiver that knows better than that. Mononga gets stood up and met in the backfield. A loss of one on the play. Johnny Newton was in on the tackle. Second down and sixteen. From the three, Williams over the middle and now a drop by Zaccheaus. Wow. And Zaccheaus just not able to secure the ball. Play clock was about to expire. Zaccheaus with the catch and now he's short of first down yardage and yet a two-point lead for Washington. Daniels is swallowed up and brought down back near the thirty-two. Daniels underneath McNichols. He's got the first down. Daniels makes a move, takes off, and dives near the forty. He's gonna be a yard short of first down yardage. He got eight. They're down in one. Ball's on the ground. And it's recovered by Nashawn Wright. Snap was fine but watch the the handoff. It was it looked like it was almost thrown into his stomach. Take a while. He didn't quite have. Yeah. Jayden Daniels never quite had it with, you know, this miss that continues to fall and he doesn't have it and then Kroski Merritt, he he doesn't know what's happening cuz he never gets it positioned in his belly. Wow. Williams fires and he's got a first down to the rookie Loveland. But yeah, Ben Johnson, he doesn't wanna see Jake Moody. He he wants he wants this in the end zone. Second down and six. Swift over the right side. Got to the edge. And goes down with a first down. Toss to Swift over the right side. Big play. And now down inside the twenty. Snap a bit high. Kick is good. And the Bears win it. Jake Moody a hero tonight. Secure the snap, that wet ball, and now the snap on the field goal try a bit high. The good place by Tory Taylor and Jake Moody knocks it through from thirty-eight yards out. Well, whoever didn't win this game was gonna walk off this field thinking of all the opportunities that they left out here.
