Caleb Williams leads the 4-2 Chicago Bears — authors of a current three-game winning streak — into Washington to take on the 5-2 Commanders, who will be with starting quarterback Jayden Daniels after all. He was knocked out of last week’s blowout win over the Panthers with a rib injury, and was a game-time decision for today’s matchup with the Bears.
Daniels’ presence would have been sorely missed as he’s completing nearly 76% of his passes for the season and ranks second among quarterbacks in rushing yards with 372 coming into Week 8. Williams has been hot over the Bears’ current three-game winning streak, too, completing 74% of his passes for 687 yards and seven touchdown passes with just one interception.
Elsewhere in the late afternoon window, Kansas City looks to stay unbeaten on the road against Las Vegas as DeAndre Hopkins makes his Chiefs debut, Buffalo will try to add to its AFC East lead at Seattle and New Orleans heads to Los Angeles to take on the Chargers.
