As detailed by OutKick's Dan Zaksheske, it's been a complete snoozefest of a matchup, but Robinson's TD added some spark in the fourth quarter.

Robinson's TD run was set up after Bears punt returner Velus Jones, Jr. fumbled and lost a kick inside of Chicago's 20. The RB capped Washington's short scoring drive with a one-yard rushing touchdown, putting the Commanders up 12-7. Washington went for the two-point conversion but ended with a Carson Wentz overthrow to Curtis Samuel. The Commanders held on to the lead for the win.
