The Washington Commanders and Chicago Bears will get Week 6 in the NFL started when these NFC clubs square up at Solider Field for “Thursday Night Football.” This is hardly the clash of titans that a primetime game typically sees, but at least we might get a touchdown in this matchup, unlike last week’s Thursday night game … right?
