Washington's defense was a disaster Thursday night against Justin Fields and the Bears. But really, it's been a disaster all season long.
defense was a problem for just about every team they faced last season. So far this year, they're just a problem.
And they should have been able to do that against Fields, who had been sacked 17 times through the first four games — the third-highest total in the league. It should've been easier considering the Bears were rotating their linemen heavily because of injuries and lost center,"especially knowing the guys we got in the room. We definitely got to get back in the lab to see what's going on. Everybody's got to look in the mirror.
It wasn't the first time, and it's not always just at the start of a game. This was really only a more extreme example of how poorly this defense has played over the last month. And if this is what the Commanders defense really is this season, it's the last thing this team in transition needs. They were counting on the defense to carry their young quarterbackthrough his expected ups and downs, to keep him in games and give him the time and room to grow.
