Bears Aim To Get Back On Track Following Loss To Packers

Chicago's five-game win streak was snapped with a 28-21 loss to the Green Bay Packers.

The Bears were thoroughly outplayed in the first half, and their 14-3 deficit made that clear. However, the road team rallied to tie the game at 21.

Green Bay responded with a scoring drive, capped off by Josh Jacobs' two-yard TD run with 3:32 left to play. Chicago had ample time to force an overtime frame, though.

But on fourth-and-one, Caleb Williams β€” who has engineered five fourth-quarter comebacks this season β€” was intercepted by Keisean Nixon in the end zone, securing the win for the Packers.

Cleveland Hopes To Avoid Its Fifth Loss In Six Games

On the other side, the Browns have dropped four of their previous five games, including a 31-29 loss to the Tennessee Titans.

Cleveland trailed 14-3 in the first quarter and 31-17 in the fourth quarter. Although the Browns put up a pair of TDs in the final frame, they missed both of their two-point conversion attempts, allowing the Titans to notch their first win since Week 5.

Shedeur Sanders threw for 364 yards and three touchdowns in his third NFL start. He joined Joe Burrow as the only rookie quarterbacks with at least 350 passing yards, three touchdown passes, and one rushing score in a game.

Bears vs Browns NFL Pick

Here's a look at what you need to know for both teams ahead of this Week 15 matchup.

  • The Bears are 5-1 straight-up (SU) in their last six games.
  • Chicago is 8-3 ATS in its previous 11 outings.
  • The Browns are 3-16 in their last 19 contests.
  • Cleveland is 5-14 ATS in its previous 19 matchups.

The Bears hold a slight 4-3 edge in the previous seven meetings of this series and have produced four wins in their last five home games. With that in mind, look for Chicago to come out on top.
