Cleveland Browns vs. Chicago Bears – 1st Quarter discussion

Today, the Cleveland Browns take on the Chicago Bears in Week 15 of the 2025 NFL season. The Browns (3-10) are coming off a loss to the Titans that was embarrassing on one hand, but also allowed them to improve their draft position. At the same time, Shedeur Sanders made headlines for his four-touchdown performance. The Bears (9-4) had their winning streak snapped last week in a close game against the Packers. They have been playing great football, especially offensively, but will the arctic cold temperatures in Chicago serve as a neutralizer today?
