It’s a Monday night battle between two rising young quarterbacks as Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears (2–2) head to Landover to face Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders (3–2).
Both teams come in trying to prove they belong among the NFC’s upper tier. Washington’s defense has been a quiet strength this season, holding opponents under 21 points per game, while the Bears are slowly finding offensive rhythm behind Williams’ efficient passing and Rome Odunze’s red-hot touchdown streak.
After a dominant win over the Chargers, the Commanders open as 5.5-point favorites at home. Chicago enters fresh off a bye week and will look to keep pace in what could become an early shootout.

🧠 Matchup Breakdown
Washington’s offense is becoming quietly balanced. Jayden Daniels has yet to throw an interception this season, and his read-option chemistry with Jacory Croskey-Merritt (283 yards, 4 TD) has given the Commanders a top-five rushing unit.
The Bears, meanwhile, are improving through the air — Caleb Williams has 8 touchdowns to 2 picks — but their defense has become a liability, especially against the run. Chicago’s inability to stop scrambling quarterbacks could haunt them against Daniels, who’s averaging 41 rushing yards per game.
If Deebo Samuel (heel) plays, Washington’s offense opens up significantly. If not, expect more targets for Zach Ertz in the red zone.

🧾 Final ClutchBuzz Commanders vs. Bears Prediction
Washington’s defense is legit, and Jayden Daniels’ mobility gives them the edge against Chicago’s bottom-tier rush defense. Caleb Williams will make plays, but the Commanders’ balance on both sides of the ball — and home-field advantage — make them the safer pick in primetime.
