Overview

• Chicago enters off a 31-14 win over Dallas while Las Vegas looks to rebound from a loss to Washington, and previews frame a pass-centric contest.
• The Bears will be without top cornerback Jaylon Johnson, with additional secondary concerns elevating responsibilities for Tyrique Stevenson and the safeties.
• Raiders Wire highlights pivotal one-on-ones: Jakobi Meyers vs. Stevenson, Brock Bowers vs. Kevin Byard with Jaquan Brisker rotating, and Ashton Jeanty vs. Tremaine Edmunds.
• Analysts note Las Vegas’ early run-game issues alongside Chicago’s 27th-ranked run defense, a contrast that still points projections toward heavy passing for Geno Smith and Caleb Williams.
• Opinion pieces forecast potential standouts rather than results, citing D.J. Moore and Luther Burden for Chicago and Brock Bowers and Maxx Crosby for Las Vegas.
