The Los Angeles Rams (1-2) are in the Windy City for a date Sunday at Soldier Field against the Chicago Bears (1-2).
Last week the Rams staged a miraculous comeback against division rival San Francisco. They outscored the Niners 13-0 in the final 6:15 of the 4th Quarter to secure their first win of the season despite a laundry list of injuries to key personnel.
Rookie quarterback Caleb Williams threw 52 passes last Sunday including the 1st 2 TD passes of his career, but it was not enough as the Colts hung on for a 21-16 win.
As noted, the Rams are beat up at the wide receiver position. They also have yet to adequately deal with the loss of Aaron Donald to retirement. The Bears simply cannot run the ball. That must change at least until their rookie quarterback finds his footing.
Lets dive into this matchup and find a few sweats.

NBC Sports Bet Best Bets
Brad Thomas (@MrBradThomas) is looking to the prop market for his involvement in this game:
“I like Kyren Williams (-150) to find the endzone against the Bears. Tied for the NFL lead with 4 TDs, Williams has scored in every game and hit pay dirt twice in the win over the 49ers.”

Quarterback matchup for Rams vs. Bears
- Los Angeles: Matthew Stafford – not surprising that with so many of his weapons on the sidelines, Stafford’s numbers have taken a hit through the first three weeks of the season. The Georgia Bulldog has thrown for 754 yards but just 2 TDs with 1 INT
- Chicago: Caleb Williams – the rookie put up a whopping 363 yards passing including his 1st 2 TD passes this past weekend in Chicago’s loss to Indianapolis. That, however, translated into just 16 points.
