Looking at the remainder of their 2024 schedule, the New England Patriots will not have many opportunities to rebound from their 2-7 start. At least considering their opponent’s recent trajectory, one of their best might come on Sunday: the Chicago Bears have lost both games since their bye week, and the pressure has been mounting for head coach Matt Eberflus.
Chicago is still a clear favorite entering the game, though. For the Patriots to pull off the upset at Soldier Field, they will need to play better than last week versus Tennessee. They also will need the X-factors to go their way.
