What to Know

On Sunday Chicago will take on the Rams at 8:20 p.m. Coming off of a loss in a game they were expected to win, Chicago now face the more daunting task of proving themselves against unfavorable odds.

Chicago fought the good fight in their overtime matchup last week but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They fell just short of the Giants by a score of 27-30. Tarik Cohen put forth a good effort for the losing side as he caught 12 passes for 156 yards and picked up 30 yards on the ground on 8 carries.

The oddsmakers expected fireworks in this matchup, but their 54-point projection wound up being a bit inflated. The Rams walked away with a 30-16 win over Detroit.

The Rams’s victory lifted them to 11-1-1 while Chicago’s loss dropped them down to 8-4-1. In their victory, the Rams relied heavily on Todd Gurley, who rushed for 132 yards and 2 touchdowns on 23 carries. Chicago will need to find a way to minimize his impact if they want to win.
