The Bears–Commanders rivalry, formerly known as the Bears–Redskins rivalry, is a National Football League (NFL) rivalry between the Chicago Bears and Washington Commanders. The two teams do not play each other every year; instead, they play each other at least once every three years and at least once every six seasons at each team's home stadium during which the NFC East and NFC North are paired up against one another. In addition, the two teams could meet each other more often if the two teams finish in the same place in their respective divisions or meet in the playoffs.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] CBS Sports ranked this rivalry as the No. 3 NFL rivalry of the 1980s.[11]
The Commanders lead the all-time series, 28–25–1. The two teams have met in the playoffs seven times, with the Commanders holding a 4–3 advantage.[1]
