The Bears weren't the first ones on the board last week, but they got there more often. They narrowly escaped with a victory as the team sidled past Denver 16-14. Having forecasted a close win for Chicago, the oddsmakers were right on the money.
Meanwhile, if Washington was expecting to get some payback for the 31-23 loss against Dallas the last time they met, then they were left disappointed. It was a hard-fought game, but Washington had to settle for a 31-21 defeat against Dallas. This makes it the second defeat in a row for the Redskins.
Chicago's victory lifted them to 1-1 while Washington's loss dropped them down to 0-2. A couple offensive numbers to keep in mind before kickoff: The Redskins are worst in the league in rushing yards per game, with only 37.50 on average. The Bears have experienced some offensive struggles of their own as they are still looking to earn their first passing touchdown. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
