The Chicago Bears will battle the Atlanta Falcons in Week 6, where Chicago is looking to get back on track after the worst loss of the Ben Johnson era last Sunday.
The Bears’ Week 6 game will air on FOX at 12 p.m. CT on Sunday afternoon. The television commentators for the game are Kevin Burkhardt (play-by-play), Tom Brady (analyst), Erin Andrews (sideline) and Tom Rinaldi (sideline).
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.
Meanwhile, the Falcons are coming off a heartbreaking 30-27 overtime loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday Night Football. Derrick Henry totaled 102 yards rushing yards against the Falcons' top-ranked run defense. Baltimore rallied back in the final minutes, where backup quarterback Snoop Huntley led the Ravens to a tying touchdown and 2-point conversion. Huntley also scored the 1-yard touchdown in overtime to win. Atlanta's quarterback, Michael Penix Jr., also suffered an injury, and it's uncertain whether he'll be available for Week 6.
