Chicago Bears (4-7) vs Arizona Cardinals (9-2)
Sunday, December 5th @ Noon (CST)

Chicago Bears lead series 57-28-6
XAVIER CRAWFORD vs CHRISTIAN KIRK
Christian Kirk currently leads the Cardinals with 49 receptions for over 600 yards this season and Kirk does most of his work out of the slot position. With Duke Shelly nursing a hamstring injury, the Bears turned to practice squad player Xavier Crawford on Thanksgiving Day. He ended the day giving up a 100 passer rating and now will have to go up against a receiver catching an outstanding eighty percent of the balls thrown his way by two different quarterbacks. With a pair of superstar receivers on the outside, Crawford is not going to have any help stopping the top receiver in a tremendously talented group of pass catchers.
TASHAUN GIPSON vs ZACH ERTZ
With star linebacker Roquan Smith banged up now as well, the Bears will probably be forced to put the safety onto the former Eagle early and often. Just before their bye week, Ertz had his best game on his new team, with eight catches...two of them for touchdowns. The Bears are already familiar with the talented tight end. In three games in an Eagles uniform, Ertz has 20 catches for 233 yards and two scores. Just as with Kirk, the added attention to DeAndre Hopkins and AJ Green should benefit the veteran tight end down the seam.
LARRY BOROM vs MARKUS GOLDEN
Markus Golden is having a great season playing opposite of All Pro pass rusher Chandler Jones. He is leading the team in sacks and a big reason why the Arizona defense leads the NFL in forced fumbles. The late round pick at tackle for the Bears has played surprisingly well filling it at right tackle when it comes to pass blocking and has only allowed one sack in the past 276 plays. Borom will have a big challenge in containing Golden as the Bears may have the far less mobile Andy Dalton under center and the Cardinals talented offense could have the Bears throwing the ball far more often than they would like.
