The Chicago Bears and St. Louis Rams first played each other in 1937 with the Bears winning both games that year. Fast forward 82 years later and the Bears are still in Chicago, but the Rams have since moved to Los Angeles. Chicago leads the all-time series 54-36-3, including a 15-6 home win in 2018. It was a sloppy game that saw Rams quarterback Jared Goff and Mitch Trubisky of the Bears threw a combined seven interceptions.

Have the tides turned in Chicago? The Bears snapped a four-game losing streak with a 20-13 victory over the Lions at home last weekend. The team punted on their first four possessions, but the offense picked it up after that. Mitch Trubisky threw for 173 yards and tied a season-high with three touchdowns. Allen Robinson led the team with six catches for 83 yards. However, the offense is ranked near the bottom of every major statistic. The Lions posted 357 yards compared to the Bears 226 in the game. Chicago will need to do a much better job in converting on third down. The team was just two of 12 last weekend.
The Bears’ defense recorded two sacks on Matt Stafford’s backup quarterback Jeff Driskel and is, holding opponents to an average of 17.4 points per game, fourth-best in the NFL. Roquan Smith led the team with 11 tackles while Nick Kwiatoski added nine more and recorded his first career interception.
Los Angeles’ offensive woes continued in a 17-12 loss on the road against the Steelers last weekend. Jared Goff completed 22 of 41 passes for 243 yards and two interceptions. Goff has nine interceptions already this season, just shy of his season-high 12 from last year. One positive was the performance of running back Todd Gurley, who has struggled for most of 2019. Gurley rushed for 73 yards, his second-highest total of the year, behind only his 97-yard performance in Week 1. Robert Woods led the team with seven catches for 95 yards. However, the Steelers defense took advantage of four turnovers throughout the game. The Rams are sixth in the league in passing yards with an average of 279.6 per game. That is their bread and butter, but a productive Gurley could make this squad less one dimensional.
The Steelers offense didn’t beat the Rams, it was mistaken by Los Angeles that led them to victory. Pittsburgh totaled just 273 yards of offense and converted a mere five of 16 third-down attempts. L.A.’s defensive front stuffed the run to the tune of just 42 yards and two-time Defensive Player of the Year Aaron Donald showed his dominance with six tackles and one sack against the Steelers.
