The Chicago Bears will be looking for their first win of the season on Sunday, as they welcome the Pittsburgh Steelers to Soldier Field.
In a matchup of two teams who are likely headed in different directions this season, the 2-0 Pittsburgh Steelers will head to Chicago to take on the 0-2 Bears. For the Steelers, they are still trying to get their offense on the right track, as the running game has been inconsistent thus far. Chicago is just looking to get into the win column, but the Steelers may be too talented a team to compete with at this point.
The combination of Ben Roethlisberger and Antonio Brown has gotten off to a fast start this season, as the two have combined for 14 connections already. Running back Le’Veon Bell, who sat out the entire preseason, has stumbled out of the gate in 2017. He just needs to get his reps in, as this team could be headed back to the AFC Championship Game this season.

Chicago played extremely poor football on Sunday, just a week after coming within one play of beating the defending NFC Champion Atlanta Falcons. Mike Glennon was given no time to throw, and when he did, it ended up in the hands of the opposition. This is a team who is going to struggle mightily this season, and fans are already clamoring for Mitchell Trubisky to take over under center.

Prediction
This game is going to get out of hand early, as the Steelers are the far superior team. The Bears did play up to the Falcons at home in Week 1, so maybe they will have some more Soldier Field magic in this one. That is likely not the case, and Big Ben and company should be headed towards a 3-0 start to the 2017 season.
Final Score: Steelers 31, Bears 13
