Muffed punt, Robinson TD lift Commanders over Bears 12-7

Associated Press  

CHICAGO — Brian Robinson scored plenty of touchdowns during his stellar career at Alabama. Christian Holmes recovered a muffed punt by Velus Jones deep in Chicago territory to set up a 1-yard touchdown by Robinson midway through the fourth quarter, and the Washington Commanders stopped a four-game losing streak, hanging on to beat the Bears 12-7 on Thursday night. Jonathan Allen intercepted Justin Fields’ pass deep in Washington territory in the first half. But was intercepted by Allen with the ball on the Washington 5 late in the first quarter when he threw a laser that hit defensive tackle Efe Obada’s helmet and popped into the air. Bears: G Lucas Patrick was hurt blocking on a run early in the third quarter, but quickly returned to the game.. WR N’Keal Harry was a healthy scratch, potentially setting him up to make his Bears debut at New England on Oct. 24.
