Khalil Herbert usually has trouble sleeping after games. Thursday night, though, was particularly eye-opening.

Around 3 a.m., the Bears running back popped out of bed and picked up his iPad. He wanted to watch the play again and again and again: on fourth-and-inches early in the second quarter, Herbert was stuffed at the goal line.

There wasn’t a hole that he missed when he plowed into the Commanders’ defensive line.
