Bears’ worst defensive players through Week 5, per PFF

Bears PFF Quinn Harris Michael Reaves Chicago (Organization)

The Chicago Bears defeated the Washington Commanders, 40-20, on Thursday Night Football. It marked Chicago’s first win of the season — and first in 347 days.

With the first five games in the books, the Bears are sitting at 1-4, but suddenly have some momentum entering an easier stretch in their schedule. Can Chicago kickstart a winning streak after going nearly a year without a victory? If so, they’re going to need some strong outings from their top players.
