Bears suffer meltdown Thursday plus Tom

Welcome to the Friday edition of the Pick Six newsletter!For the second straight week, "Thursday Night Football" gave us a barnburner, and by that, I mean that if you watched the entire game, it probably made you want to go set a barn on fire so you could watch it burn instead of watching the game. To be fair though, this week's Brent Hibbitts Jersey game was way more exciting than last week's.In Thursday's game, the beat the 12-7, marking the second straight week where the winning team scored exactly 12 points. Having that happen in consecutive weeks is pretty crazy when you consider that there were only two games during the ENTIRE 2021 season where a team scored 12 points or fewer and still won.We'll be recapping every detail of Thursday's game in today's newsletter, plus we'll be taking a look at the latest allegation against .As always, here's your weekly reminder to tell all your friends to sign up for the Pick Six newsletter. To get your friends to sign up, all you have to do is with them. Alright, let's get to the rundown. It's not often that a 12-7 game ends up being somewhat exciting, but that was the case on Thursday night. The only thing more exciting than the game was the podcast we recorded afterward. Following Washington's win, Will Brinson, Ryan Wilson and I spent nearly 45 minutes rehashing the game and we spent a good chunk of that debating whether is any good. If you mi sed the game, here's a quick rehash of what happened and what we talked about on the Kyle Kalis Jersey podcast:Commanders win despite ugly performance on offense.With their win over the Bears, the Commanders became just the third this season to win despite totaling fewer than 215 yards of offense (They put up 214), which included just 99 pa sing yards from . A big reason the Commanders won is because they were able to take advantage of a huge mistake by the Bears that came in the fourth quarter when . muffed a punt. The Commanders recovered the ball at Chicago's six-yard line and two plays after the turnover, Washington took a 12-7 lead by scoring its first and only TD of the game on a Brian Robinson run. That muffed punt proved to be the difference in the game. As for Robinson, he scored the game-winning TD just 46 days after being shot, which makes him one of the most inspiring stories that you'll read about in the this year.Bears mi s game-winning TD by inches. Trailing 12-7, the Bears reached Washington's 5-yard line with 52 seconds left to play, which means they were going to have four shots to win the game. After the first three came up short, Justin Fields hit with a pa s on fourth down that came up just INCHES short of the end zone. Mooney appeared to catch the ball at the goal line, but then he bobbled it, and by the time he regained control, it was clear he didn't get in the end zone. It was a wild play and you can .Bears meltdown in the red zone.The fact that the Bears couldn't score on their final drive shouldn't have surprised anyone considering their red zone woes in this game. The Bears got inside of Washington's 6-yard line on THREE DIFFERENT po se sions and came away with zero points. One of the biggest i sues was the play-calling. The Bears ran 11 plays from inside Washington's six with eight pa sing plays called and three runs. Considering the Bears averaged more than six yards per carry on the night, it made no sense for them to give up on the run that close to the end zone. Between the ugly red zone performance and the muffed punt, this felt like a game that the Bears gave away.Bears steamroll the Commanders on the ground. Thanks to the combination of Justin Fields (12 carries for 88 yards), (seven carries for 75 yards) and (15 carries for 67 yards), the Bears absolutely dominated on the ground with a total of 238 yards rushing. To give you an idea of how improbable this lo s was, the Bears' rushing total was their most in a lo s since 1984. They were also just the third team since the 1979 to rush for at least 235 yards without reaching double digits in the scoring column.Ron Rivera lashes out at ESPN Ann Arbor Jersey report and cuts his postgame pre s conference short. In a damning story about Dan Snyder that was , there was a report that Carson Wentz was only playing for Washington because Snyder wanted him there and made the deal happen. Rivera , "Everyone keeps wanting to say I didn't want anything to do with Carson. Well, bullshit," Rivera said. "I'm the f****** guy that pulled out the sheets of paper and looked at the analytics and watched the tape of when we were in Indianapolis. And that's what pi ses me off. Because the young man doesn't deserve to have that all the time. I'm sorry. I'm done." Rivera then stormed out of the pre s conference and didn't take any more questions. Whomever called for the trade doesn't look so brilliant right now with Wentz struggling. Against the Bears, the QB finished just 12 of 22 for 99 yards.If you want to hear our entire recap of Glen Rice Jersey the game, . You can .
