In a battle of the top two picks in the 2024 NFL Draft, Caleb Williams is getting the better of Jayden Daniels in the first half as the Chicago Bears lead the Washington Commanders 13-7 at halftime. Williams led the Bears to points on the first three possessions, including a 1-yard touchdown run to put the Bears up double digits.
Williams is 10 of 17 for 85 yards, but has the lone touchdown for the Bears. The Bears are getting a strong night from D’Andre Swift, who has 64 yards from scrimmage and 7.7 yards per carry in the first half.
The Commanders are struggling to put points on the board, despite Daniels going 10 of 11 for 74 yards and a touchdown. Daniels lone incomplete pass was an interception in the end zone by Jaquan Brisker. The Commanders haven’t reached the red zone, but Daniels had an interception inside the Bears’ 25-yard line and Matt Gay missed a 50-yard field goal just prior to halftime. Jacory Croskey-Merritt also had a fumble that led to the Bears touchdown.
