The Chicago Bears (3-5) are back home after a tough road schedule to host the Miami Dolphins (5-3) on Sunday.
The Bears are coming off a blowout 49-29 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. They will have a new look on offense and defense as they take on the Dolphins without Pro Bowl linebacker Roquan Smith (traded to Baltimore) but have added wide receiver Chase Claypool from Pittsburgh.
Chicago’s offense seems to have found its identity as Justin Fields is being utilized more as a dual-threat quarterback and less of a pocket passer. Against Dallas, the second-year quarterback looked great, leading the offense and scoring three touchdowns.
The Bears are hosting a tough Dolphins team led by one of the best run-stopping defenses in the NFL. But Chicago will have an opportunity to win if they do these three things in Week 9 against the Dolphins.
