Redskins vs. Bears: Preview, matchups to watch, score prediction, more
By Ian Cummings
After an 0-2 start to the season, the Redskins will look to rebound against the Chicago Bears of the NFC North.
The Washington Redskins haven’t had a successful start to the 2019 season, but they haven’t gotten a lucky draw, either. Their first two matchups were against the Philadelphia Eagles and the Dallas Cowboys, both divisional opponents who’d appeared in the playoffs last year.
Still, this tough draw can be used as an excuse for the bad product put on the field, and it shouldn’t be. The Redskins have had it tough on the football field, but they’ve also been kind of bad to start the year. These two truths can coexist with one another, and against the stingy Bears defense, there’s a chance the theme continues.
That said, the 2019 Bears have shown themselves to be more vulnerable than the 2018 Bears team that went 12-4 en route to a three-seed in the playoffs. How do the Redskins match up with the Bears, and are there any weaknesses they can exploit? Will Chicago’s defense be as suffocating as it was last year? Take a look!
