Chicago Bears smack Washington Commanders with huge efforts from Justin Fields and DJ Moore

The Bears finally get into the win column.

Justin Fields and DJ Moore walked onto FedExField in Landover, Maryland on Thursday Night Football, hell-bent on leading the Chicago Bears to their first victory of the season.

After hooking up for two touchdowns toward a 24-point halftime lead, Fields and Moore would connect for a back-breaking 56-yard TD in the fourth quarter en route to the Bears delivering a 40-20 road win over the Washington Commanders.

Fields wound up airing it out for 282 yards and four touchdowns, while Moore hauled in eight receptions for 230 yards and three touchdowns.

The star duo didn't waste time asserting their chemistry Thursday night, as Fields punctuated the Bears' three-minute opening drive with a 20-yard TD strike to Moore.

Early in the second quarter, Fields found Moore yet again — this time for an 11-yard connection in the end zone.

The Bears would score on all five of their first-half drives to take a commanding (pardon the pun) 27-3 lead into halftime.

Though the Commanders made it interesting in the second half, pulling within 30-20 with 10:51 remaining in the game, Moore was able to haul in a jump ball from Fields and take it to the house roughly six minutes later to bury any thought of a wild rally from Washington.

With the victory, the Bears (1-4) will host the Minnesota Vikings next week. The Commanders (2-3) fell under .500 for the first time this season.

Here's how the entire Commanders vs. Bears game went.
