In last season’s Week 8 matchup, Caleb Williams led a touchdown drive to give the Bears a 15-12 lead with 25 seconds remaining. Jayden Daniels completed two passes to get just shy of midfield and then threw a Hail Mary on the final play that Noah Brown caught for the game-winning touchdown.

Making matters worse, replays showed Bears cornerback Tyrique Stevenson taunting Commanders fans after the snap and arriving late to the action.

“It was harsh, it hurt my feelings,” Stevenson, still with the Bears, said of the fan reaction to the play. “But just use it as fuel.”

Chicago, who had won three straight games, lost 10 in a row and finished 5-12, while the Commanders secured a wildcard spot and went to the NFC title game.
