The Chicago Bears played the Washington Commanders in one of the most entertaining games of the 2024 NFL season. The game saw the number one overall pick, Caleb Williams, and the number two overall pick, Jayden Daniels, go head-to-head for the first time in their NFL careers.
The game was a success in terms of the Commanders’ gameplay. They went on to win by a score of 18 to 15 after a last-second Hail Mary, which Jayden Daniels completed to wide receiver Noah Brown.
Daniels threw for over 300 yards, doubling his counterpart, Bears quarterback Caleb Williams, who threw for just 131 yards in the thrilling match-up. However, that outdueling came after some controversy during the game.
In a screenshot posted to Facebook by an NFL fan, they noticed two people on the sidelines standing behind Bears offensive coordinator Shane Waldron, one holding a phone with a Commander’s case and the other with a phone that looked like it was recording in his front pocket.

Chicago Bears Fan Claims The Washington Commanders Cheated To Win Sunday Night Football Game
One fan joked about the playcalling, joking that “they called the hail mary with 4 seconds left,” adding in some emojis before asking, “Who would’ve guessed?” He seemed dumbfounded by the allegations of cheating in the post.
Another fan even laughed at the fan who posted the original post and seems to have a thought about all Bears fans. “Typical Chicago Bear fan always gotta find something to blame the loss on,” he claimed.
While the Bears may have struggled in the game against the Commanders, they are looking to get back on track as they face the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. Meanwhile, the Commanders will take on division rival New York Giants.
