The NFL season rolls into Week 6 with an NFC matchup between the 2-3 Chicago Bears and the 1-4 Washington Commanders. The Bears are 2-0 at home and will be hosting a Commander’s squad that is 0-2 on the road.
The last time these two teams took the field against each other, the Chiefs won a thrilling 42-36 shootout in overtime. Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes outdueled Bills QB Josh Allen, thanks to late-game heroics, including Mahomes driving down the field in 8 seconds to set up a game-tying field goal. Allen and the Bills head into Kansas City as the favorites but Mahomes and the Chiefs will be tough to beat in what many expect to be the game of the week.
