A last-gasp 38-yard Jake Moody field goal on the final play gave the Chicago Bears a 25-24 victory at the Washington Commanders.
“It feels amazing,” said Moody, who was making his Bears debut. “To get all that support from all my team-mates after the game, it was an amazing feeling.”
Two Moody field goals and a touchdown from quarterback Caleb Williams put Chicago 13-0 up before Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels found Chris Moore to reduce the deficit to six points at Northwest Stadium.
Matt Gay and Moody traded field goals before Daniels threw to Luke McCaffrey and Zach Ertz for touchdowns as Washington opened up a 24-16 lead.
D’Andre Swift went over the line for Chicago before Moody sealed victory.
“That’s who we are. We fight,” said Williams, who threw for one touchdown and 252 yards.
“We’re 3-2 because of our fight, because of how we face adversity and come together.”
