Hello, Chicago Bears fans! Welcome to the second installment of Good, Better, Best as we look back at what worked, what was improved, and what was worthy of superlatives in the Monday night game that pitted our Chicago Bears against the Washington Commanders.
Good
Theo Benedet
Theo Benedet, the undrafted “Canadian Eagle” who wowed the Chicago Bears coaching staff in training camp, made his first start in place of Braxton Jones against the Commanders. He more than held his own as a pass rusher, and was a force in the run game. While Benedet lacks ideal arm length, his quick feet and overall athleticism has allowed him to compensate for that limitation. Could the Bears have found their present and future left tackle? Arrow is pointing up.
