After losing a hard-fought game last weekend against the Packers, Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears (9-4) look to get their pursuit of a playoff spot back on track Sunday at Soldier Field against Shedeur Sanders and the Cleveland Browns (3-10).
As a result of that loss last weekend, the Bears are now 1/2 game behind Green Bay in the NFC North but are also in just seventh place in the standings in the NFC. They are just inside the playoff picture and just one game ahead of Detroit and two in front of Carolina. Motivation should not be an issue for Ben Johnson’s team.
The Browns have announced Sanders is their QB1 for the remainder of the season. The rookie out of Colorado has shown enough flashes of ability that Cleveland fans are hoping they have found their quarterback of the future. Last week against Tennessee, Sanders threw for 364 yards and three touchdowns.
Matchup to Watch: Myles Garrett vs. Caleb Williams
Garrett is on the brink of breaking the NFL’s all-time sack record. The Bears’ quarterback has been fantastic of late avoiding the rush, but Williams will need to be aware of where the Defensive Player of the Year is at all times. The Bears’ roster in general has turned over since the last time they lined up against Garrett but know that the future Hall of Famer dominated the Bears in 2021 recording 4.5 sacks.
Lets take a look at additional numbers in this matchup between the Browns and the Bears.
