What happened
Washington's pass rush, which pressured on 38% of dropbacks before its Week 5 bye, has pressured on 29% since. Chicago leaned into that: 2.4 seconds average time to throw and 22 of 31 attempts under 8 air yards. Washington finished with one sack.
The game swung on third down. Chicago converted 7 of 13, Washington 4 of 12. Washington's run game was efficient (5.1 yards per carry) but used sparingly, with 21 carries against 38 dropbacks while trailing for most of the second half.
Chicago's go-ahead drive in the fourth quarter covered 75 yards in 9 plays, none of them a pass longer than 12 air yards.
