"The Washington Commanders took a different approach with cornerback Marshon Lattimore in Week 5 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Joe Whitt Jr. gave Lattimore his 10th-lowest rate of man coverage snaps at SoFi Stadium, according to Next Gen Stats. He allowed only one reception for six receiving yards, which played a significant role in Washington coming from behind to seal a memorable triumph on the road."
"Lattimore's gone through a rollercoaster start to the campaign. One game, he looks like the shutdown corner who took the league by storm once upon a time. Next, he's a liability, getting burned for significant gains or conceding crucial penalties in key moments. It's feast or famine for the four-time Pro Bowler right now, and that won't go unnoticed by Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson as part of his strategic planning for their Monday Night Football showdown."
Washington limited Marshon Lattimore's man coverage snaps against the Chargers, resulting in only one reception for six yards and contributing to a comeback victory. Lattimore's early-season play has been inconsistent, alternating between elite shutdown performances and costly mistakes including big plays and penalties. That inconsistency raises concern ahead of a matchup with the Bears, led by offensive-minded coach Ben Johnson. Chicago employs motion, trick plays, and strong post-bye-game performances, and will likely target Lattimore with receivers Rome Odunze or D.J. Moore, both capable of exploiting lapses in coverage.
