Overview

  • Chicago edged Washington 25-24 to extend its win streak to three games.
  • D’Andre Swift produced 175 yards from scrimmage with a 55-yard catch-and-run touchdown, leading the team in rushing and receiving.
  • According to ESPN Research, Swift’s 10.9 yards per touch were the best by any player this season with 15 or more touches, and his 7.7 yards per carry delivered his first 100-yard rushing game since 2024.
  • Coach Ben Johnson said he trimmed the run-play menu after the Week 5 bye and credited the tighter plan for the efficiency, awarding game balls to Swift and kicker Jake Moody.
  • Moody, elevated from the practice squad that day, converted four field goals including the game-winner as time expired, while Swift is listed questionable with a groin issue as Chicago prepares for the Saints, who have allowed 18 scrimmage touchdowns this season.
