Series: The 94th game saw the Bears lead 58-29-6. The teams have split the results in their last six games, with the Bears winning three in a row before that. The Bears have won the last three games in Arizona, including the famous first matchup of that streak – the 2006 game “The Bears are who we thought they were.” The Bears and Cardinals are the oldest franchise in the NFL, lasting 103 years, 11 months and seven days. The Cardinals played in Chicago until 1959, then moved to St. Louis from 1960-87 and then to Arizona.

Trainers: Bears coach Matt Eberflus is 14-27 in his third season and 1-0 against the Cardinals, with the victory coming 27-16 last year at Soldier Field on Christmas Eve. The Bears are 3-17 in road games under Eberflus.

Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon is 8-17 in his second season as coach and 4-8 at home. He’s 0-1 against the Bears. Gannon was the Eagles’ defensive coordinator when they went to the Super Bowl in 2022 before being hired as Arizona’s coach.

Last week: D’Andre Swift broke off a 56-yard run in the third quarter and Caleb Williams led the Bears to a 15-12 lead in the fourth quarter, but they lost to Washington 18-15 on a 52-yard Hail Mary TD pass from Jayden Daniels to Noah Brown, one deflected by Bears cornerback Tyrique Stevenson. The loss ended the Bears’ three-game winning streak

The Cardinals won their second straight game, overcoming a 27-18 fourth-quarter deficit in Miami to win on Chad Ryland’s 34-yard field goal 28-27. Kyler Murray passed for 307 yards on 26 of 36 with two TDs to lead to a rally. This came after a 17-15 victory over the Chargers when they scored a 32-yard Ryland field goal as time expired.

Game: A matchup of mentor and student while Gannon was the Colts’ defensive backs coach from 2018 to 2020 on Eberflus’ defense. The Bears are trying to overcome a devastating loss to keep pace in the NFC North, while the Cardinals are trying to maintain their lead in the NFC West. Arizona is tied 4-4 with the Seahawks and the 49ers with the Rams at halftime of the penultimate game. The Bears face another mobile passing threat as Murray has 11 pass TDs, three interceptions and has completed at least one pass TD in every game. He has 344 yards rushing.
