The Chicago Bears ended the longest losing streak in franchise history with a 40-20 win over the Washington Commanders on Thursday night.

The Bears hadn't won a game in 346 days amid an 0-4 start that raised questions about the futures of coach Matt Eberflus and quarterback Justin Fields.

"Pretty bad, I'm not going to lie," Cole Kmet said when asked how badly the team needed a victory.

"I think the emotion I felt literally until ... the clock hit zero was relief. It's been a long time coming to get this first win. We've got a lot of talent; we've just got to put it together. These types of performances can carry over, but we have to be able to execute and be in sync as a group."

In five games this season, wide receiver D.J. Moore has 531 receiving yards and five touchdowns after a huge effort on Thursday night.
