Bears Host Struggling Browns in Week 15 Matchup CHICAGO (Interstat) — The playoff-bound Chicago Bears look to rebound from a rare loss when they host the struggling Cleveland Browns at Soldier Field on Sunday. The Bears (9-4) enter the contest after a 28-21 defeat at Green Bay last week snapped a three-game winning streak. Despite the setback, they remain firmly in the NFC postseason picture. Quarterback Caleb Williams, the focal point of Chicago’s offense, has thrown for multiple touchdowns in three of his last four games and adds a dynamic element with his mobility, having rushed for at least 13 yards in each of those contests. Conversely, the Browns (3-10) are mired in a difficult season and are coming off a last-minute 31-29 home loss to Tennessee. Rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders put forth a valiant effort in the defeat, passing for 364 yards and three touchdowns while adding 29 yards and a score on the ground. However, Cleveland’s defense has consistently struggled, allowing 26 or more points in eight of their 10 losses. Sunday’s game presents a stark contrast in momentum. Chicago has won five of its last seven games, while Cleveland has dropped eight of its last nine. The Bears’ defense, which held opponents under 20 points in three of its last five games, will aim to pressure Sanders and contain running back Quinshon Judkins. According to National Statistical’s game simulator, the Bears are projected to win 29-19. Despite this, Cleveland has been installed as a pregame underdog with a spread of +7.5. The over/under is set at 38.5 points. For the Bears, maintaining offensive balance with Williams, running back D’Andre Swift, and a reliable receiving corps will be key. For the Browns, replicating Sanders’ recent offensive production while finding answers on defense is their only path to an upset. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. EST Sunday at Soldier Field. Chicago will face a short week ahead, hosting Green Bay again next Friday, Dec. 19. Cleveland will return home to host the Buffalo Bills on Dec. 21.
