What is the story about?

The Pittsburgh Steelers head to Chicago on Sunday to face the NFC North-leading Bears. Through 10 games, first-year head coach Ben Johnson has transformed Caleb Williams and the Chicago offense to the tune of a 7-3 start. However, it will be one of Williams’ toughest tests yet, as he faces a Steelers defense trending upward.

Since acquiring safety Kyle Dugger, Pittsburgh has gone 2-1 and allowed 20 points or fewer twice. Defensive coordinator Teryl Austin may have saved his job when he decided to pair

Dugger and Jalen Ramsey at safety together, as they have been terrific in helping the team turn around.

The uptick in Pittsburgh’s defensive play coincided with the offense taking a step in the wrong direction. Aside from the 34-point tilt against Cincinnati’s horrid defense, quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the offense have missed key plays.

Speaking of Rodgers, there is still no definitive answer as to whether he will get the chance to continue his ownership over the Bears on Sunday afternoon. Oddly enough, whether it’s Rodgers or Mason Rudolph or both, Chicago having to game plan for each could play into Pittsburgh’s hands.

Luckily for offensive coordinator Arthur Smith’s unit, Chicago is immensely injured on the defensive side of the ball. In Week 12, the Bears will be without linebackers Tremaine Edmunds, T.J. Edwards, and Noah Sewell, as well as cornerbacks Jaylon Johnson and Kyler Gordon.

Yet to play a team while it has a winning record at the time of their matchup, how will Chicago handle their flurry of injuries with a hungry Steeler team in town? Here is how to ensure you catch all the action.
