Thursday Night Football
Washington @ Chicago
Team Totals: Bears 19.5, Commanders 18.5
The Football Team returns from its fourth consecutive loss with competent backup Taylor Heinicke and promising rookie Sam Howell gaining momentum to replace Carson Wentz, who’s thrown four INTs, fumbled six times, and taken 19 sacks during the Commanders’ month-long losing streak. On Monday, Ron Rivera was asked to name the biggest difference between 1-4 Washington and the rest of the NFC East. “Quarterback,” he replied. … As expected, rookie Brian Robinson’s (gunshot wounds) Week 5 return morphed the Commanders’ backfield into a value-crippling three-way RBBC against the Titans. Robinson led the team in carries (9) but didn’t draw a target, Antonio Gibson handled six touches on 32% of the snaps, and J.D. McKissic paced the unit in playing time (41%) and targets (7). Robinson did account for virtually all short-yardage attempts and is playable on one-game DFS-tournament slates.
