2022 NFL season, Week 6: What We Learned from Commanders' win over Bears on Thursday
Commandants run game does barely enough. After last week's nine-convey debut, Brian Robinson Jr. obviously acquired the Leaders' mentors' trust for more work Thursday night. Robinson began, got the ball on the initial two plays of the game and was in there late to assist with polishing off Washington's 12-7 triumph. For the evening, he conveyed the ball multiple times for 60 yards and scored the go on score halfway through the second from last quarter. Robinson wasn't ripping off many large runs, yet his 16-yard run on the front side of the two-minute admonition was a back-breaker for the Bears. More than anything, he showed more burst than you could anticipate from a shot in the player leg on various occasions in late August. Toss in a couple of pleasant runs each from Terry McLaurin and J.D. McKissic, in addition to an unexpected appearance from Antonio Gibson - - who had four conveys for 32 yards (all in the second from last quarter) - - and Washington crushed its direction to a short-week street win. It wasn't pretty, yet it was compelling.
Bears' red-zone burdens proceed. The Bears were 2 for 2 in red-zone open doors in Week 5 against the Vikings yet 0 for 3 in the five-guide misfortune toward the Goliaths. On Thursday, the Bears matched the Monsters' down's shortcoming, with the game consummation on Darnell Mooney's fourth-down get administered down at the Washington 1-yard line. It was a fitting end for a group that is battling to score focuses in a few incredibly imaginative ways. The Bears had two promising early drives upset by red-zone turnovers - one a pick, the other on downs. Justin Fields' cap diversion interference on Chicago's subsequent drive had a misfortune to it, yet did he figure he could fit it through a little opening? On the following Bears series, they headed to the 1, and Fields' defeat to a completely open Ryan Griffin on second and objective was undeniably more terrible a mistake than Khalil Herbert getting stuffed at the objective line on fourth down. That was the second time this season the Bears confronted fourth-and-objective at the 1-yard line and neglected to get in.
Fields' exciting ride night develops banter. Fields' initial errors were unquestionable. However, so were the Bears' hostile inadequacies. He was hit multiple times in the pocket, with five bringing about sacks, and that doesn't count the times he was hit on 12 surging endeavors. A few times Fields flinched following successes and sat on the turf after them at least a time or two. Yet again however he additionally fizzled on tosses and was undoubtedly somewhat at legitimate fault for clutching the ball excessively lengthy. At this moment, Fields stays a goliath secret wrapped inside a puzzler. His development ability is phenomenal, as seen on his 39-yard scramble that almost helped dominate the match for the Bears. What's more, he's a decent upward hurler, as his bomb to Dante Pettis showed. In any case, his general refinement as a QB needs a great deal of work; the execution on Chicago's penultimate drive is great proof of that. Yet, how does improvement occur with a hostile line that can't obstruct and recipients who can't separate or catch in every case? That is the Bears' most serious issue at the present time.
Leaders win regardless of Carson Wentz. Like Fields, Wentz has a penchant to draw in unfamiliar bodies; they're currently the two most-sacked quarterbacks in the NFL. Once more, there's the Rorschach trial of who's to be faulted: the line or the QB? Be that as it may, with both of these quarterbacks, they unquestionably miss the mark on ideal pocket presence you're searching for. With the run game functioning admirably, it seemed OK to rest on it and sprinkle in a couple of high-rate passes when the game shifted Washington's direction. In any case, nobody can say with an emotionless expression that this is the hostile equation the group needed before the season, not with the collectors they have and with the value the Leaders paid to land Wentz, who was 12-of-20 passing for 99 yards in the success. Obviously Scott Turner and Ron Rivera - mentors who may be battling for their vocations - have next to no trust staying in high-influence circumstances to call for even respectably dangerous tosses. What's more, we didn't have to hear Rivera's initial week remarks on Wentz to know that. We simply watch the games.
Khalil Herbert has procured more contacts for the Bears. At the point when David Montgomery missed the greater part of Week 3 and Week 4, Herbert was all ready to sparkle. He ran for a joined 234 yards and two TDs and got each of the three passes tossed to him for 36 additional yards. Last week against the Vikings, he was given four conveys. On Thursday, he had seven - and one of them went for 64 yards. This isn't a supplication to remove the ball from Montgomery's hands yet one to give Herbert an extended eating regimen. This could be a Jonathan Stewart-DeAngelo Williams sort of organization in the event that the Bears believe that it should be. With Fields' ability to run, the Bears really could be difficult to guard once they work back the hostile line.
Cutting edge detail of the game: Justin Fields' 40-yard TD pass to Dante Pettis had a culmination likelihood of 22.9%, the most unrealistic fulfillment of Fields' profession up until this point.
NFL Exploration: Carson Wentz improved to 7-0 on Thursday Night Football, which is the most wins without a misfortune in TNF history, which traces all the way back to 2006. The following best number of wins without a misfortune is 2-0.
