Last year’s game between the Bears and Commanders featured one of the most memorable moments of the 2024 season.
The Commanders were down 15-12 on the final play of the game, but wound up winning when quarterback Jayden Daniels’ Hail Mary bounced off of Bears defenders into the hands of wide receiver Noah Brown in the end zone. The win helped jumpstart the Commanders’ run to the NFC title game and it kicked off a 10-game losing streak for the Bears that included the firing of head coach Matt Eberflus.
Ben Johnson is now the head coach of the Bears and he wasn’t interested in revisiting what happened last year on Tuesday when he was asked about any revenge game aspect to the Week 6 meeting between the teams.
“You’d have to talk to those guys about it,” Johnson said. “We’re a new team and we’re just focused on winning this game this week.”
