Last week’s win over the Washington Commanders might have marked a significant moment in the Chicago Bears’ outlook for the next few games. Specifically, one of their young players and potential building blocks broke out in a major way to help the Bears break their 14-game winning streak.
That would be rookie defensive tackle Gervon Dexter Sr., who dominated the Commanders’ offensive line with six pressures in 33 snaps and posted the team’s second-best Pro Football Focus grade of the game (85.5) behind only D.J. Moore (87.1).
Dexter had seen a curious decrease in snaps against the Denver Broncos and largely watched from the sidelines as the team blew a late lead.
