It would be disappointing if the Washington Commanders made an effort to cheat but yet lost by double digits.
Someone wearing a Washington Commanders phone cover was spotted near the sideline during Thursday Night Football standing behind Bears offensive coordinator Luke Getsy as he was calling plays and pulling out his playbook.
He just so happened to be the target of the phone.
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?

It ultimately failed as the Commanders suffered a 40–20 home loss.
Without throwing a pick, Justin Fields passed for 282 yards and four touchdowns. The 24-year-old finished with a quarterback rating over 125 for the second straight game.
The Bears defeated Washington on Thursday for their first win in almost a full calendar year after a franchise-record 14 straight losses.
Sam Howell, the quarterback for the Washington Commanders, completed 37 of his 51 throws for 388 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception on the other side of the ball.
In Week 6, the Bears will play the Minnesota Vikings in an effort to begin a new kind of streak.
