Sunday, Sept. 27

Chicago Bears (2-0) at Atlanta Falcons (0-2), 1:00 pm

Bears: Can Mitch Trubisky and Matt Nagy’s team in general finally put together four solid quarters of football? The Bears are 2-0 after rallying to beat the Lions and then holding on to defeat the Giants. Chicago has scored 21 points in the fourth quarter in two games in 2020. Meanwhile, the other 23 points have come in the first three quarters.

Falcons: Dan Quinn is in his sixth year as the team’s head coach and the defensive specialist has yet to solve this team’s issues on that side of the ball. Atlanta has already allowed 78 points and 10 offensive TDs in two games. The team recovered three Dallas’ fumbles last week in the first quarter for their only takeaways of the season.

Los Angeles Rams (2-0) at Buffalo Bills (2-0), 1:00 pm

Rams: Jared Goff and the Los Angeles’ offense has been highly efficient so far this year as Sean McVay’s club looks to open the season 3-0 for the third consecutive year. The Rams are averaging 172 yards per game on the ground, Goff has been sacked only twice and the fourth-year signal-caller has turned over the ball just once.

Bills: Third-year quarterback Josh Allen is off to the best start of his career. Entering 2019, he had never thrown for at least 300 yards in any NFL game and now has done it twice in as many weeks. He burned the Dolphins for 417 yards and four scores and now leads the league with 729 passing yards. And Allen has yet to throw an interception.
