Chicago Bears manage to defeat Los Angeles Rams in 34-11 runaway despite falling short of predictions

Both teams underperformed expectations, but Chicago Bears did enough to beat Los Angeles Rams, rolling to a 34-11 win. It didn't take long to learn who would be the frontrunner in this matchup, as Chicago Bears jumped out to an 8-point lead on Thursday behind stellar showings from the Baltimore Ravens defense (5 points) and Lamar Jackson (3). Matt Gay (1-1 FG, 37 long, 1-1 XP) and Tyler Higbee (3 Rec, 20 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) did their part for Los Angeles Rams in the loss. Chicago Bears (8-2) will look to maintain their momentum against Denver Broncos, while Los Angeles Rams (4-6) will attempt to generate some positive momentum against Phi Eagles (TS).
