Dawgs By Nature
The Cleveland Browns and Chicago Bears face off in Week 15 at chilly Soldier Field in Week 15. The two teams have gone in completely different directions in 2025. The Bears got bad news in pregame with WR Rome Odunze reinjuring his foot and being ruled out for the game despite being active.
The Browns are hoping to see even more positives from QB Shedeur Sanders after a great performance in a loss in Week 14. Cleveland will not have a lot of their starters and key backups for the Week 15 matchup, with it uncertain whether the questionable players will be able to participate.

Poor special teams coverage by Cleveland was wasted on Chicago’s first offensive possession
The Bears punt unit downed Sanders and the Browns at the 1-yard line to start the game
Cleveland had two penalties on their first three plays on offense, costing it a yard or so, but a sign of poor preparation and/or focus
Three Judkins runs led to a Corey Bojorquez punt that was returned 18 yards and gave Chicago the ball in scoring position to start their second possession
The Bears quickly and methodically finished off their 42-yard drive on a Swift six-yard TD run
Chicago is going away from Garrett on everything so far
Coming out of a timeout after the kickoff, Cleveland’s offense can’t get the play called in time and nets the team their fourth penalty of the game already, with a delay of game
Sanders’ avoided pressure and scrambled for what looked like a first down but replay assist said he was short of the line to gain and Cleveland punted
Another mistake, Bojorquez and the punt coverage team couldn’t down the punt as it rolled into the endzone for a touchback
