Nathan Peterman (14) has played in two games for the Bears this season, completing 3-of-6 passes for 25 yards and an interception.

The Bears have little to play for in their season finale against the Vikings on Sunday at Soldier. But it means something to Nathan Peterman.

The veteran backup quarterback will start in place of Justin Fields, who is out with a hip strain. It will be Peterman’s first NFL start since 2018 with the Bills — a 41-9 loss to the Bears in place of injured starter Josh Allen.
