Keen on watching the 1-3 Chicago Bears take on the 1-3 Indianapolis Colts online via a live stream today? Here’s everything you need to know.

The Bears travel to Indianapolis today amidst reports that Jay Cutler’s starting position hangs in the balance. Brian Hoyer, after coming off a 17-14 win vs the Lions last week, is 1-1 since replacing the injured Cutler and has the opportunity to take full advantage of one of the worst defenses in the league.

Hoyer has amassed 619 yards and four touchdowns without throwing a pick in his two games behind center and must be salivating at the chance to play in perfect dome conditions against such a porous defense.

The Colts are bottom feeders of many defensive categories, including points allowed (31st) and total yards conceded (25th). Indianapolis is also giving up a league’s 24th ranked 277 aerial yards each game.

The Bears, only scoring a paltry 15.5 points per game (31st in the NFL), have their own problems to deal but believe Hoyer is a viable solution.

Andrew Luck has been battered in the backfield, his leaky offensive line already allowing 15 sacks in four previous encounters. Luck, despite having a whole the size of the Grand Canyon in front of him, has helped his team score an average of 27 points per game, good for 9th in the NFL.

Something has to give today at Lucas Oil Stadium and we have a sneaking suspicion that Hoyer, in idyllic conditions against an absolutely abysmal defense, will take full advantage of this golden opportunity to stamp his authority on potentially usurping Cutler as the Bears’ go-to man behind center.
