Bears Brace for Patriots Clash Without Key Offensive Tackles
Chicago Bears face significant challenges as they host the New England Patriots, missing both starting offensive tackles due to injuries.
- The Bears will play without left tackle Braxton Jones and right tackle Darnell Wright, both sidelined with knee injuries.
- Rookie quarterback Caleb Williams aims to improve his recent performance, struggling with accuracy and protection issues in past games.
- Chicago's defense, recovering from a poor showing, will focus on containing Patriots' rookie QB Drake Maye, known for his mobility.
- Running back D'Andre Swift is expected to play a crucial role against a Patriots defense that ranks low in rushing yards allowed.
- The Bears have a strong home record, with nine consecutive wins at Soldier Field, providing a potential advantage against New England.
