The Chicago Bears (7-3) are looking to extend their impressive start to life under new head coach Ben Johnson when they host the Pittsburgh Steelers (6-4) in NFL Week 12 on Sunday.
The visitors’ main concern going into the game is the fitness of quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who suffered a fracture in his left wrist last week, when back-up Mason Rudolph finished the game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Pittsburgh Steelers at Chicago Bears preview
The Chicago Bears are enjoying a dream run under new head coach Ben Johnson with seven wins in their last eight games after winning just five times last season and they are worth backing to add another success at home against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Quarterback Caleb Williams looks much more accomplished in his second NFL season and has thrown 13 touchdown passes with only four interceptions.
D’Andre Swift and the emerging Kyle Monangai are running the ball well and Johnson’s innovative play-calling has the Bears ranked fourth in the league with 373.8 yards per game.
The Steelers have to choose whether to field veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who is dealing with a wrist injury, or turn to back-up Mason Rudolph, who did a solid job when finishing off last week’s win over the Bengals.
The Pittsburgh defence has not lived up to its lofty reputation this season, ranking 28th in total defence and 32nd against the pass.
Williams has the mobility to avoid their pass-rush and while the Bears have had a soft run of fixtures they should be capable of passing this test at home.
