Happy Christmas Eve Eve! While the world is gearing up for holiday festivities, Bears fans are in for an early football gift with a game on Christmas Eve. Despite both teams being out of playoff contention, there's still plenty of intrigue surrounding the Bears vs. Cardinals matchup in Week 16. Here are some key storylines to watch:
1. Draft Implications: This game has an unexpected twist when it comes to the NFL Draft. The Bears' draft position could be affected by the outcome. While fans typically root for wins, some may hope for a loss to improve the team's draft prospects, thanks to a trade that could give them access to a high pick.
2. Offensive Line Concerns: The Bears' offensive line faces a challenge with the absence of guard Teven Jenkins due to a concussion. Can the depleted offensive line hold up against the Cardinals' defensive front? Offensive coordinator Luke Getsy may need to adjust the game plan to protect against interior pass-rush.
3. Justin Fields' Performance: With only a few games left in the season, Justin Fields has limited time to make a case as the Bears' franchise quarterback. His performance in this game and the remainder of the season will play a significant role in the team's evaluation of his potential.
4. Dominant Defense: The Bears' defense has been on fire lately, forcing numerous interceptions and stifling opposing offenses. Can they maintain their dominance against Kyler Murray and the Cardinals' explosive offense?
These storylines add intrigue to what was initially considered a meaningless matchup, making it a game worth watching for Bears fans.
