The quarterbacks - who will face off for the second time Monday night at Northwest Stadium - will be compared throughout their careers. But as much as their individual performances matter, what is equally as important is how their teams build around them - particularly while they're still on their rookie contracts, before they're eligible to sign lucrative extensions in the 2027 offseason.

This immediately invoked memories of last season's encounter between the two clubs at the same venue. When it looked like the Bears were heading for a statement victory, the Commanders had other ideas. Jayden Daniels heaved a prayer near the end zone as time expired, which fortunately fell into the grateful arms of wide receiver Noah Brown for a Hail Mary miracle. It was an astonishing moment - one that sent the NFC adversaries on entirely different paths the rest of the way.

"doesn't seem like anything super serious."

Ben Solak is out this week, so Matt Bowen is filling in with his own unique style. Bowen and Seth Walder bring different perspectives into how they approach sports betting. A former NFL safety, Bowen predicts positive matchups and game winners from tape study and his understanding of the league. Walder relies on statistical models to pick out plus-expected value bets.

Wide receiver Tyreek Hill was out on the practice field but without pads. Coach Mike McDaniel said he would try to practice through his oblique injury, revealed ahead of the Friday joint session, but Hill did not do anything against the Bears.

"I'm bigger on Detroit-style pizza," Borom said. "The Chicago style with the fork and knife, you can keep that. ... You can't even pick it up."

Colston Loveland is on track to be ready for the start of his rookie season. Chicago opens the 2025 season at home on MNF in Week 1 vs. the Vikings.

Despite higher competition in the free-agent pool, Jamaal Williams remains a top option for the Bears, especially due to his previous success with their current staff.
