The Chicago Bears and Washington Commanders are set to clash on Sunday, potentially showcasing the top two picks from the 2024 NFL Draft. However, it’s uncertain if the Commanders’ star rookie quarterback, Jayden Daniels, will take the field due to a rib injury.
Currently listed as questionable, Daniels may have to sit out, in which case veteran Marcus Mariota would take charge of Washington’s offense. Bears Pro Bowl cornerback Jaylon Johnson was unfazed about Washington’s QB situation, confidently stating, “Honestly, I don’t give a damn who is out there. I’m looking forward to whooping their ass either way.” His bold words sparked a reaction from Commanders fans. “He can talk all he wants. All that matters is what happens on the field,” one fan responded, while another added, “Talking trash already. Remember what this guy said so we can throw it back in his face after we win.” Washington has faced similar taunts before, as Bengals cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt dismissed their offense as “nice for college” before a Week 3 game, which Washington won 38-33 with Daniels posting three touchdowns.
The Bears are favored by 3 points for this road game, according to ESPN BET.
