The Chicago Bears, fresh off their first win of the season, are hoping to make it two in a row as they play their final game before their Week 5 bye.
Sunday, the Bears will be headed west, as they’ll take on the Las Vegas Raiders at Allegiant Stadium in Sin City.
The Bears have won their last two games against the Raiders, and will be hoping to make it three wins in a row over Las Vegas as they head into their bye week following this contest.
Here’s what you need to know.
What time do the Bears and Raiders play?
Kickoff between the two teams is set for 3:25 p.m. Central time, or 1:25 p.m. Las Vegas time.
What channel is the game on?
The game between the Bears and Raiders will air on CBS, and will also be available to stream on Paramount-Plus.
What is the Bears’ all-time record against the Raiders?
According to Statmuse, the Bears and Raiders have only tangled 17 times in their combined history, with the Bears currently owning a record of 9-8 against the team.
The Bears have won their last two games against the Raiders, including a 30-12 victory during the 2023 NFL season. Tyson Bagent started in that game for an injured Justin Fields, throwing for 162 yards and a touchdown. D’Onta Foreman rushed for 89 yards and a pair of touchdowns, with the Bears holding the Vegas offense to just 235 yards of offense.
How are the Raiders doing this season?
After winning their first game of the season, the Raiders have dropped their last two by a combined score of 61-33, with the Commanders knocking them off by 17 points last weekend.
Asthon Jeanty rushed for 63 yards in that loss, while quarterback Geno Smith threw for 289 yards.
Smith has completed 63.2% of his passes for 831 yards, four touchdowns and four interceptions, and has been sacked 12 times so far on the season.
The Raiders’ defense currently ranks 23rd in the league in yards allowed per game, and has been susceptible both to the pass and the run, giving up nearly 25 points per contest so far this season.
The Bears meanwhile are 10th in the league in offense, averaging 347 yards per game, and they’re scoring 25.3 points per contest, good for ninth in the NFL.
Caleb Williams is coming off one of the best games of his career, throwing for 298 yards and four touchdowns en route to winning NFC Offensive Player of the Week honors against the Dallas Cowboys a week ago.
More importantly, Williams made it through the entire game without being sacked, marking the first time in his career he’s achieved that milestone. Still, the Bears can’t get complacent, as Jonah Laulu and Maxx Crosby have combined for five sacks and eight tackles for loss through three games for the Raiders.
When will the Bears next be in action?
After Sundays’ game, the Bears will have a bye week in Week 5, then will return to the field on Monday, October 13 when they take on the Washington Commanders in a nationally-televised primetime game. That game will kick off at 7:15 p.m., and will air on ABC.
