Who’s Playing
Chicago Bears (home) vs. New England Patriots (away)
Current records: Chicago 3-2-1; New England 4-2-1
What to Know
New England will challenge Chicago on the road at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday. New England know how to get points on the board — the squad has finished with flashy point totals in its past three matchups — so hopefully Chicago like a good challenge.
It was a close one, but last Sunday New England sidestepped Kansas City for a 43-40 win. New England’s success was spearheaded by the efforts of Tom Brady, who accumulated 340 passing yards and punched in 1 rushing TD, and Sony Michel, who rushed for 106 yards and 2 touchdowns.
Meanwhile, Chicago fought the good fight in their overtime matchup but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. It was close but no cigar for Chicago as they fell 28-31 to Miami. Chicago didn’t live up to their potential and found themselves falling short of the 7-point advantage oddsmakers thought they had coming into the game.
New England’s victory lifted them to 4-2-1 while Chicago’s defeat dropped them down to 3-2-1. The two teams might be coming in a bit winded after having run the length of the field multiple times (New England picked up 513 yards, Chicago 480).
