LANDOVER, Md. – After nearly three full offensive quarters Sunday, the Chicago Bears needed just two plays and 46 seconds of game time to hold off the Washington Commanders.

With 54 seconds left in the third quarter, Bears running back D'Andre Swift took a handoff from quarterback Caleb Williams to his left and ran down the Chicago sideline into the end zone for a 56-yard touchdown.

The score – Chicago's first of the day after being shut out at halftime – cut into Washington's lead as Swift gained most of his 98 rushing yards in three quarters on one play. The Commanders maintained a 12-7 lead early in the fourth quarter.
