Here are five storylines to watch for today’s game:
1. A Trap Game with Playoff Implications
The struggling Cleveland Browns (3-10) will face the surprising Chicago Bears (9-4) in a classic trap game with heavy consequences for the Bears’ playoff hunt. The game will be played in frigid conditions, with a gametime temperature of 10 degrees and windchills near -15.
2. Rookie QB Shedeur Sanders Shows Promise
Despite the team’s record, Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders is showing improvement, delivering a career-best performance with four overall touchdowns in his most recent game. He continues to perform behind a battered offensive line that is missing key starters.
3. Myles Garrett Chases an NFL Record
Cleveland’s defense is anchored by 2023 Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett, who is just three sacks away from breaking Michael Strahan’s NFL single-season sack record of 22.5. He is set for a favorable matchup against Bears rookie left tackle Ozzy Trapilo.
4. A Battle of Rushing vs. Run Defense
The game will feature a critical matchup between the Bears’ punishing two-headed running back combo of D’Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai and the Browns’ defense. While Cleveland’s defense ranks second in the NFL in yards allowed, it has shown vulnerability against the run.
5. A Tricky Bears Defense
A key factor will be the Chicago Bears’ defense, which leads the league in turnover differential (+16) and makes game-changing plays. Safety Kevin Byard III is a major threat, leading the NFL with six interceptions.
