Quarterback Justin Fields turned the ball over on one trip to the end zone. And on the next trip inside the Commanders’ 20-yard line, the Bears turned the ball over on downs.
Two teams that had a combined three wins entering a Thursday night contest that is traditionally ugly are living up to their dreaded billing. With the Bears unable to score, the Commanders have a 3-0 lead at halftime on a 38-yard Joey Slye field goal with 46 seconds left in the second quarter.
Coming off his best game of the season against the Vikings, Fields reverted to some of the same frustrating plays that dogged him through the first month of the season.
