The Rams are depleted at receiver due to injuries but they'll still come to Chicago with a potent attack thanks to Matthew Stafford and a strong supporting cast.
The Bears defense faces plenty of inexperienced quarterbacks this year and just got done going against three straight second-year passers.
The inexperience ends this week with a game at Soldier Field against Matthew Stafford, the first of two real veteran QBs they'll face in succession. The second is Andy Dalton with Carolina."Yeah, we know Matt Stafford's one of the most talented quarterbacks in the league," Bears safety Kevin Byard said. "He has a really strong arm. He can make all the throws. I've actually played against him a couple of times.
When you combine Stafford with coach Sean McVay, the football brain, the Bears defense knows it's going to need to be physically dominant because the Xs and Os edge will be difficult to own. "I think just as our defense, we have to make sure we’re playing sound, fundamentally sound football, because we know whatever their first 15 or whatever it's gonna be."Matthew Stafford is currently 11th all-time in pass yards and has the opportunity to pass Eli Manning this Sunday.The Rams have been hit with injuries and won't come to Soldier Field with top receivers Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua. They'll still be formidable.
