DeMarcus Walker Took A Jab At Kirk Cousins After Bears' Big Win

It was a true monkey-falling-off-the-back moment for the Chicago Bears on Thursday night. They were mere days removed from their epic collapse against Denver on Sunday. Everybody thought they'd get clobbered by the Washington Commanders. They had a great defensive line, and the Bears secondary was riddled with injuries. What nobody counted on with another outstanding game from Justin Fields and a spirited effort from DeMarcus Walker and the rest of the defensive line. Sam Howell was sacked five times. It would've been more if not for some Houdini escapes.

After letting Washington cut a 27-3 lead down to 27-20, the Bears did what they failed to do against Denver. They rallied to score 10 unanswered points, capped by D.J. Moore's third touchdown of the night. Chicago closed out a 40-20 victory, ending their miserable 14-game losing streak. It wasn't a shock to see players celebrating on their way back to the locker room. Nobody was more animated than Walker. He even added a creative celebration that may have been a double jab at both the Commanders and quarterback Kirk Cousins.

DeMarcus Walker may have been sending a message.

Everybody knows Cousins' infamous celebration. Back when he was Washington's quarterback, he led a huge comeback over Tampa Bay to win a game 31-30. Walking into the locker room, he screamed at the camera, "You like that? You like that!" The reference was obvious by Walker. Maybe it was a shot at Washington, but one must not forget the Bears played the Minnesota Vikings at Soldier Field ten days from now. That could be a message that this team intends to make his life difficult, too.

Minnesota is 1-3 this year. They barely beat the winless Carolina Panthers last week. If the Bears can take them down, they would be 2-4, with the equally listless Las Vegas Raiders up next. It's way too soon to proclaim this team on the rebound, but they're clearly playing some of their best football right now. If they can get some guys back healthy, anything is possible.
