It’s week 8 of the NFL season and the 5-2 Washington Commanders will be facing a 4-2 Bears team at home in Northwest Stadium in Landover, MD on Sunday at 4:25 pm EDT. The Bears had a rocky start to the season, starting 1-2 with losses to the Texans and Colts, but turned things around and the Bears have won three straight games against the Rams, Panthers, and Jaguars.
On offense, the Bears are in their first year under OC Shane Waldron, former OC of the Seahawks and pass game coordinator of the Rams under Sean McVay. Waldron comes from the McVay/Shanahan tree that likes to feature an outside zone run game and heavy use of play action.
