The New England Patriots will be looking for their third win of the season on Sunday when they travel to Soldier Field to face the Chicago Bears.
The Bears are coming off back-to-back losses, including a 29-9 loss to the Arizona Cardinals last week. Meanwhile, New England is coming off an overtime loss to the Tennessee Titans by a 20-17 score.
Rookie quarterback Caleb Williams threw for 217 yards against the Cardinals, while running back D’Andre Swift led the Bears in the rushing attack with 51 yards on the ground. It was rookie wide receiver Rome Odunze who made the biggest impact with 104 receiving yards on the afternoon.
The Patriots, on the other hand, saw further progression and development from rookie quarterback Drake Maye. He went 29-of-49 against the Titans for 206 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions.
He also led the team in rushing with eight carries for 95 yards. Tight end Hunter Henry proved to be one of the more reliable targets throughout the game, as he recorded seven receptions for 56 yards.
The Patriots and Bears have an extensive series history. The Patriots lead the series by a 10-5 margin. Chicago won the last game between the two teams back in 2022 by a 33-14 score.
This game is another step in the continued development of Maye for the Patriots. How will he fare on the road against a tough Bears team? Who do you have winning Sunday’s showdown?
