Neither team is tested against a quality opponent. The Commanders beat Cincinnati who was considered quality at the beginning of the year but find themselves 3-4 and looking for answers. The others: NYG (2-5), AZ (3-4), CLE (1-6), CAR (1-6).
The Bears are similar, having no quality wins.
This game is a battle between two teams that think they might have something, but have no real proof of it on the field.
