The announcers have been set for Thursday night’s showdown between the New England Patriots and Chicago Bears.
Legendary commentator Al Michaels will handle the play-by-play, with Kirk Herbstreit handling the analysis. Kaylee Hartung will hold down the fort from the sideline as the Patriots look for their fourth win in a row.
The Patriots are coming off a resounding 26-19 win over the New York Jets. It was a game that featured the return of star wide receiver A.J. Brown, who finished with only three receptions for 27 yards on 10 targets. It was a disappointing showing from the three-time All-Pro who missed the previous four games due to an ankle injury.
He'll be looking to turn things around with his red-hot quarterback, Drake Maye, who went 18-of-32
passing for 235 yards and three touchdowns against the Jets. Maye has thrown 10 touchdown passes and only one interception in his last three games combined.

Note: The game will also air on WCVB-TV in Boston (Ch. 5).
Meanwhile, the Bears are coming off a 31-23 win over the Atlanta Falcons in Week 6. It was a game that marked the return of Bears quarterback Caleb Williams, who went 30-of-36 passing for 305 yards and one touchdown. Luther Burden III led the way for Bears receivers with eight catches for 95 yards and one touchdown.
It'll be a tough road matchup for a Patriots team dealing with multiple injuries on a short week. Williams and the Bears are surging with momentum, and they will present one of the biggest tests the Patriots have faced so far this season.
