Chicago Bears keys to the game
1. Get after the rookie
Drake Maye was once considered a top-tier quarterback prospect in the 2024 NFL Draft. It's why he went No. 3 overall to the Patriots after the Bears took Caleb Williams and the Commanders took Jayden Daniels. The Bears would do well to make life in Chicago miserable for Maye.
2. Get Cole Kmet into the game
One of the Bears' most consistent targets has been the tight end from Notre Dame. He did not get a target last week. Getting Kmet involvegd early and often this week would go a long way in making life easier for Williams.
3. Lean into the home crowd
Can you believe the Bears are playing at home for the first time in five weeks? That's what happens when they go from London, to a bye week, to consecutive road games since the Bears' 36-10 win over the Carolina Panthers. The Bears are back home. Getting home field advantage going is the right thing to do.
Remember when…
The last time the Chicago Bears welcomed the Patriots to Solider Field it came down to a Hail Mary pass during a regular season game in the 2018 season. Mitchell Trubisky's last-second heave found its man, too. Wide receiver Kevin White came down with the ball… two yards short and the Bears lost 38-31. The Bears have not had a good relationship with Hail Mary plays since James Allen caught one in 2001.
