Windy City Gridiron
On Sunday, the Chicago Bears will try for their first four-game winning streak since the 2018 season, when they won the NFC North in Matt Nagy’s first year as head coach. The Bears will also be looking for their first win against the New Orleans Saints since 2008, when Lovie Smith was still patrolling the sideline for Chicago.
The Bears will also try to extend their league-high streak of consecutive games scoring at least 21 points to six.
“Trap game” has been the buzzword all week, but I can’t see this group looking past anyone. For one, this team is coming off a five-win 2024. They shouldn’t be feeling themselves after a few wins. Two, it’s a short week coming off the Monday night game, so the quick turnaround got them back
Kickoff is scheduled for Sunday at 12:00 p.m. (CT) from Soldier Field in Chicago, Illinois. The weather is expected to be rainy with a high of 57.
The game will be on FOX with Kevin Kugler and Daryl Johnston on the call, and if you live in the blue 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.
