Though problems still exist for the Commanders’ defense, the numbers have gotten better. Over the last three weeks, the unit is eighth in yards allowed (292), fifth in points allowed (16.7), seventh in third down percentage allowed (30.3%) and fourth in passing yards allowed (167).
Williams and the Bears’ offense will be a much different test compared to the likes of the Panthers and Browns. They’ve scored at least 35 points in their last two games with 797 combined yards in those matchups.
So, Whitt knows the Commanders’ defense will need to put together another team effort, not just to contain Williams but also D.
