The Washington Redskins know the magnitude of coming away with a win today against the Chicago Bears.
Not only would a victory be the team's first in six tries on the road this season, but it would continue to keep the Redskins atop the NFC East standings with three games left in the regular season.
And, after the first quarter, the Redskins have gotten off on the right foot, and lead the Bears, 7-0.
