Windy City Gridiron
This feels like a turning point game for the Chicago Bears. After two disappointing losses to open the season, head coach Ben Johnson sent a message to his team that their effort and practice habits need to improve.
The players who met the media said the right things during the week, and Johnson said things looked better when he held his press conference, so we’ll see if that translates on Sunday.
In two games, the Dallas Cowboys have played to the level of their competition with a close loss to the defending Super Bowl champion Eagles and an overtime win against the Giants. This game could go either way, and it’ll likely come down to which offense can protect the quarterback best against two shaky pass rushes.
Kickoff is scheduled for 3:25 p.m. CT on Sunday, September 21, from Soldier Field in Chicago, Illinois. The weather will be cloudy, with a high of 76, and a slight chance of rain.
The game will air on FOX with Kevin Burkhardt and Tom Brady on the call, and if you live in the red of this 506sports.com map, then you’ll get to see the game.
ESPN Chicago (1000 AM, 100.3 FM HD2) with Jeff Joniak, Tom Thayer, and Jason McKie on the call, and LATINO MIX 93.5 FM (Spanish) with Omar Ramos.
The Bears game can also be heard on SiriusXM.
