LANDOVER, Md. — It would’ve been a small step almost anywhere else, but this was big for the Bears.
They finally won a game, beating the Commanders 40-20 on Thursday to snap a franchise-long 14-game losing streak that lasted almost a year. Quarterback Justin Fields hit a rough patch in the second half, but finished with a flourish to and end any thought of the Bears collapsing for the second game in a row.
He still has a long way to go, especially after his mostly quiet second half allowed the Commanders to creep back into the game, but he’s officially trending upwardly.
