Overview
- The game kicks off Sunday at 6:30 p.m. ET on NBC at Soldier Field.
- Forecasts call for roughly 18°F at kickoff with 20-plus mph wind gusts and subzero wind chills, a setup that could weigh on the Rams’ league-leading passing attack.
- Matthew Stafford practiced fully after spraining his right index finger and is set to play; guard Kevin Dotson is trending toward a return, and cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon was placed on injured reserve.
- Chicago lost linebacker T.J. Edwards and left tackle Ozzy Trapilo for the season; cornerback C.J. Gardner-Johnson was a full participant while DJ Moore and Rome Odunze were limited midweek.
- Los Angeles is emphasizing pressure on Caleb Williams and cleaner coverage and special teams, as historical data shows road favorites of four or more are 0-10 against the spread over the past 50 years.
