Getting to Know You: Chicago Bears Preview Edition
The Patriots travel to Soldier Field in Chicago for a rare New England trip out to the Windy City. It's going to be a fun matchup of a salty Bears group that seemingly let one go last weekend against the Dolphins in Miami, against a Patriots team that knocked off the NFL's hottest team in the Chiefs, but still looks like a major work in progress that hasn't yet reached their full stride. Weeks like this are always a challenge for players in that you have to get up to speed quickly on a team you're not familiar with, but fortunately, many of the concepts should look similar to stuff the Pats saw against Kansas City, and even the Jaguars. How will the Patriots offense attack a talented Bears D that gave up a big number on the ground a week ago and brings a hobbled star to the game in Khalil Mack? How will the Patriots defense be attacked after a very solid showing against the Chiefs undone in a flurry of late-game huge plays a week ago? And can the Patriots quickly fix their kickoff team letdowns that had typically been an area of strength, but may be seen as a big opportunity for the Bears to jump on and flip the field. Enjoy!
