The Chicago Bears will be returning home this week for the first time since Week 5 looking to snap a two-game losing streak against the New England Patriots.
Sunday's game will be another duel between two rookie quarterbacks with Caleb Williams set to face off against the third overall pick, Drake Maye. The Bears are 3-0 at Soldier Field this season and still hold the longest active home winning streak.
The matchup will be available live on FOX during the early afternoon window, but not everyone in the country will be able to view the game. Here's which areas will be carrying the game on Sunday.
Based on the map above, the majority of the country will be viewing the San Francisco 49ers at Tampa Bay Buccaneers game in the red area. Those inside the orange areas will be able to view the Bears vs Patriots game during the afternoon slate. The other early games on FOX will be the Atlanta Falcons at New Orleans Saints game in the blue area and the Minnesota Vikings at Jacksonville Jaguars game in the yellow area.
On call for the Bears vs. Patriots matchup will be Kevin Kugler on play-by-play alongside analyst Daryl Johnson with Laura Okmin serving as the sideline reporter. For those who are unable to watch on TV, you can stream Sunday's game on FOX Sports, NFL+, or YouTube TV.
If you can't tune in to watch, you can still tune in and listen on ESPN AM-1000 with Jeff Joniak, Tom Thayer, and Jason McKie.
1. Will a defining home win be enough to quiet the noise? The Bears have dealt with a lot of drama during the two game skid and a big game on Sunday might quiet things down. Another loss, however, will make things even louder for the coaching staff.
2. Will the DL be too much for Drake Maye? The Bears' best formula to win on Sunday is going to be by making the Patriots' rookie QB uncomfortable. Maye hasn't got much help from his run game this season and a few turnovers could easily decide this one.
3. Is Rome heating up? In Week 9, rookie WR Rome Odunze led all rookies with 104 yards on five receptions, his second career game topping 100 yards. Everyone's been dying to see Odunze get more opportunities and that should continue on Sunday.
