The Chicago Bears and Washington Commanders are set to face off on Sunday in a game that may feature the top two picks from the 2024 NFL Draft. However, there’s uncertainty around whether Commanders’ rookie quarterback, Jayden Daniels, will play due to a rib injury. Daniels is currently listed as questionable, which could mean veteran Marcus Mariota will start for Washington if Daniels is unable to go.
Bears Pro Bowl cornerback Jaylon Johnson made a bold statement leading up to the game, saying he doesn’t care who Washington’s quarterback is. “Honestly, I don’t give a damn who is out there,” Johnson said on Friday. “I’m looking forward to whooping their ass either way.” This statement sparked a reaction from Commanders fans, with one fan responding, “He can talk all he wants. All that matters is what happens on the field.” Another added, “Talking trash already. After we win, we’ll throw it back in his face.”
This isn’t the first time Washington’s opponents have provided fuel for their fans. Ahead of a Week 3 matchup, Bengals cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt called Washington’s offense “a nice college offense,” which Washington countered by winning 38-33, with Daniels scoring three touchdowns. Another fan remarked, “Ask Taylor Britt what happened when he chirped.” For this game, the Bears are listed as a 3-point road favorite, according to ESPN BET.
