Patrick Flowers, Matt Rooney, and Luis Medina recap the Bears’ 25-24 win over the Commanders, D’Andre Swift’s standout performance, the improved offensive line, and signs of a complete culture shift under Ben Johnson.
The Bears pull off another thriller on Monday Night Football, edging out the Commanders 25-24 in a last-second Jake Moody kick. On this week’s Bleacher Nation Bears Podcast, presented by Obvious Shirts, hosts Patrick Flowers, Matt Rooney, and Luis Medina dive into how Chicago continues to show real growth under head coach Ben Johnson.
It’s the little things making a big difference — from game management to discipline — as the team’s culture has taken a full 180 from last season. D’Andre Swift turned in one of his best games as a Bear, while rookie Kyle Monangai impressed again in limited work, highlighted by a 25-yard gain on a screen. The offense leaned heavily on 11 personnel throughout the night, perhaps signaling a new structural shift after the bye, and the offensive line held strong with Theo Benedict getting the start at left tackle.
