The Washington Redskins and Chicago Bears are playing live on the NFL schedule for Week 14 and the game is live from Soldier Field at 1 pm ET on FOX. The Redskins are trying to stay in the mix in the NFC East, while the Bears are on the outside of the wild card race and need some help to get into contention.
The Redskins have not yet won on the road this season and right now would be a good time to snap that streak with the NFC East in such disarray. The Redskins had the chance to take control against the Dallas Cowboys last week and now the team will be looking to bounce back. The Eagles and Giants are 5-7 this season and the Cowboys are still alive in the division at 4-8 on the season. The Redskins have not won on the road nine straight games overall and they really need this game against the Bears to keep their playoff hopes alive.
The Redskins have been 5-2 at home this season and they have played much better overall at home this year, scoring eight more points on offense at home. The Redskins finish the season against the Bills, Eagles and Cowboys and those divisional games give the team a chance to keep the lead in the NFC East if they can bounce back against the Bears. The Redskins gave up the game against the Cowboys with some tough plays and now they will have to find a way to win on the road against Chicago.
The Bears come into the game with Marquess Wilson out for the game, while Pernell McPhee comes in listed as doubtful for the matchup with a knee injury. McPhee has not been able to practice this week and players like Zach Miller, Tracy Porter and Antrel Rolle come in listed as questionable. The Redskins have Jason Hatcher coming in as questionable for the game and he is optimistic that he will play after dealing with a pinched nerve.
Hatcher was limited in practice with the injury, while Chris Thompson comes in listed as out for the game along with Perry Riley and Jeron Johnson. Pierre Thomas was brought in to add some depth for the team at running back and that will put Matt Jones and Alfred Morris as the main options for Kirk Cousins on Sunday. The Redskins need to win to really give themselves a chance at the division title, while the Bears playoff hopes could end with a loss.
