00:00to be one of the teams of

00:03destiny this season to me.

00:05Well, like you said, unbelievable ending.

00:07Also an unbelievable opportunity for me to use

00:10Tariq Stevenson to teach my oldest son about karma

00:13and how that can really work against you.

00:16If anyone missed the video of him out there just

00:19taunting the fans, not paying attention at the end

00:22of the game that, oh crap, they snapped the ball.

00:25I got to go jump into the midfield.

00:28I got to go jump into the middle of the fray.

00:31And he is the one that tipped the ball, obviously,

00:33into the hands of the player

00:36that made the winning catch there for the commanders.

00:39To your point, I think that

00:42you could look at this game in a variety of different ways

00:44in terms of ultimately how it ended.

00:47Did one team really deserve the game more than the other?

00:50I mean, neither team played particularly great,

00:53certainly not offensively.

00:55I thought that Chicago was a team

00:58that just hung around long enough.

01:01Washington gave the Bears so many opportunities

01:04and obviously stalling out repeatedly in the red zone,

01:07being held to field goal after field goal.

01:10It felt like the Bears were going to win.

01:12And then when they finally took that lead,

01:14for them to, in the final 25 seconds,

01:17whatever it was, obviously give it back on the Hail Mary,

01:20it did feel a little, to use the word again,

01:23I guess, karmatic about these commanders

01:26and what they are in the process of doing this year.

01:29Because Jaden Daniels was by no means exceptional

01:32in his return from that injury the week prior.

01:35He was good when he had to be, ultimately.

01:38But we went weeks not seeing this team punt,

01:41it felt like, let alone not scoring touchdowns out there.

01:44And they finally kind of had their offensive woes.

01:48But yeah, I mean, had that team lost

01:51and fallen the half game behind the Eagles and the NFC East

01:55and just how jam-packed that division is.

01:57The Cowboys obviously do what they did last night.

02:00It would have felt like a kind of a photo finish in the making

02:04right around halfway through this season.

02:06But to win that game as improbably as Washington did

02:10and showing its versatility both offensively and defensively

02:13and clearly a little bit of luck there at the end,

02:16it feels like we're looking at Washington winning the NFC East.

02:20And that is just an inevitability.

02:22And sure, you may have multiple teams in that division

02:25make the playoffs, but there is.

02:27Maybe it's getting rid of Dan Snyder, I don't know.

02:29But there is something special that is going on there with that team.
