Patriots quarterback Mac Jones is reportedly available just in time for Monday Night Football against the Chicago Bears. After missing three games due to a high-ankle sprain, he’ll be a key player to watch for New England. But what about the Bears?
Chicago traded four picks, including a pair of first-rounders, to move up and select quarterback Justin Fields 11th overall in the 2021 NFL Draft. Through six games, it appears the second -year quarterback’s struggles have spilled over into this year. Like Jones, he’s thrown more interceptions than touchdowns. The Bears are last in the NFL in passing yards and completion percentage. They’re also tied for last in passing touchdowns. They’ve relied on running the football, logging more rushing attempts than any team other than the Falcons, Eagles, and Browns.
So far, the Bears have been one of the NFL’s stingiest pass defenses, holding opponents to 178.
