The Commanders cut the Bears' lead to one with a field goal but were seemingly in need of a lucky break to get in the endzone. They caught one midway through the fourth quarter after their special teams recovered a muffed punt to put the offense in terrific field position.
The @Commanders recover the fumble and take over in great field position!
