When the Commanders host the Bears on Thursday in prime time, the dynamics between the two teams couldn't be more different from when they met a year ago.
ASHBURN — As the Washington Commanders were warming up for practice last month, one player turned to a small group of reporters to ask them what the heck was happening in. This was around the time when Bears quarterback Justin Field not only threw coaches under the bus for his “robotic” play, but also when defensive coordinator Alan Williams abruptly resigned. Oh, and the Bears had to deny rumors that the FBI raided team headquarters about Williams’ exit.
As Rivera spoke, he laughed and referred back to a question he received earlier in the season that pointed out that one of the main problems for the Commanders this season has been the long snapper position — and how that, in a way, had signified progress. “When that’s your biggest concern as a player or a position or something on the field, that’s really cool,” Rivera said.
Chief among the topics will be the drama involving Chase Claypool, who will miss his second straight game Thursday after the wide receiver complained publicly about his role. The Bears said they told the wide receiver to stay home shortly after the comments, but even that message was delivered confusingly. Bears coach Matt Eberflus initially told reporters that it was Claypool’s choice to stay away from the team before a team spokesperson clarified that the Bears made the decision.
