The Washington Commanders played against the Chicago Bears in Week 5 of the NFL season. During the game, fans spotted a weird thing about Luke Getsy speculating that the Commanders were cheating.
However, the Bears still won the game. The team, led by quarterback Justin Fields, had a strong offensive performance and won the game 40-20. But fans are adamantly calling for the NFL committee to take action against the Commanders.
Viral footage shows Luke Getsy being recorded
After the Bears vs. Commanders game, a fan posted a video on the X app in which it can be seen that a man was sneakily recording the offensive coordinator of the Bears, Luke Getsy.
A guy was standing behind Luke Getsy and he was recording the sheet in Getsy’s hands, which had details about the offensive plays.
Fans also noticed that the guy had a Commanders’ case on his phone, which led to the speculation that the guy was sent by the Commanders to cheat in the game.
This short video quickly went viral, accumulating millions of views in just a few hours. Fans reacted strongly to the footage, creating conspiracy theories and demanding an investigation into the incident.
It wasn’t confirmed who that person was because, in the video only his hands were visible. But the Bears still won the game against the Commanders. Justin Fields had an impressive performance with 339 scrimmage yards and 4 total touchdowns.
Wide receiver D.J. Moore played a significant role in the Bears’ victory, catching 8 passes for 230 yards and 3 touchdowns. It was the first victory of the Bears in this season and they finally broke their 14-game losing streak.
Possible identity of the mentioned person
The individual in question was identified as someone working for the NFL as a uniform inspector. It was clarified that this incident was not part of a conspiracy involving a Commanders’ employee attempting to photograph the Bears’ play sheet.
While everyone was thinking he was someone sent by the Commanders, JPAFootball reported that the guy was a uniform inspector who works for the NFL.
In the NFL, uniform inspectors appear in the game to make sure everything is happening fairly and they keep a hidden check on everything. The guy standing behind Luke Getsy was also a uniform inspector.
In the end, the Commanders’ name was cleared and the Chicago Bears went home with their first win of the season, breaking their losing streak.
