The Chicago Bears will battle the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, where Chicago is looking to get back in the win column after a difficult showing in Week 5.
The Bears are coming off a 31-7 blowout loss to the Green Bay Packers, where Chicago was out-coached and outplayed in all phases. Tyson Bagent had one of the worst quarterback performances in recent Bears history, throwing two interceptions before being benched in the fourth quarter for Case Keenum. Meanwhile, the defense was shredded by Jordan Love and Green Bay's offense, allowing six explosive plays of 30-plus yards, and they had no answers.
Here’s how the Bears and Falcons stack up statistically ahead of Sunday's matchup.
