Pluck out my eyes! This performance looked like a couple of naked mole rats bumping uglies, but at the merciful conclusion, the victory was Washington's, and as they say - a win is a win is a win. In today's Statsbomb, I'm going to flip the script and start with the bad stuff, finishing with the positive stats.
- McNabb's Completion %: 53.1
- Possible Explanation: Donovan has a grudge against the ground and wanted to pummel it with footballs

- Number of balls put on the ground by Washington: 6 (5 recovered)
- Latest player infected with the Clinton Portis "Falling Sickness": Brandon Banks

- Rank of Fan Rating for WSH-CHI on NFL.com among Sunday's Games: Last Place
- Candidates for Most Typical Play of the Game
- An errant Cutler throw ricochets off of the front of Landry's helmet, kisses the Goodyear blimp, and then falls complete into the arms of a Bears' O-lineman who catches a case of the falling sickness
- The aforementioned McNabb pick-six negated by a delay of game penalty
- Brandon Banks/Ryan Torain/Donovan McNabb/Chris Cooley fumble, then somehow prevent disaster from happening by recovering
- Donovan McNabb throws the ball at the ground, hard
