During last night’s Bears-Commanders game, something very unusual happened that left many scratching their heads about possible cheating
It seems like a staffer, maybe from Washington Commanders, maybe unrelated, was caught during the broadcast using a phone with a Commanders case while standing on the Bears sideline, right behind offensive coordinator Luke Getsy, seemingly pointing the phone at Getsy’s playbook.
Could they have been recording the plays? It’s hard to say for sure.
What in the world is this?
During last night's game, someone using a #Commanders case phone was standing behind #Bears OC Luke Getsy and directed it at his playbook, possibly recording it?
This seems really odd – what do you make of this?

What’s interesting is that the person in question was wearing an official NFL-logoed blue shirt and had a badge around their neck, granting them access to the sidelines. The badge, unfortunately, was difficult to identify.
Despite the potential cheating, the Bears managed to win over the Commanders 40-20.
Quarterback Justin Fields and wide receiver D.J. Moore led a stunning offensive performance. Fields racked up an impressive 339 total yards and scored 4 touchdowns, while Moore made 8 catches for 230 yards and scored 3 touchdowns.
Strange incident aside, it didn’t slow down the Bears.
