The Arizona Cardinals will travel from the desert to freezing Illinois to take on the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field.
The Bears have had plenty of time to prepare for this game, as they last played on Thanksgiving Day, beating the Detroit Lions 16-14. Starting quarterback Justin Fields sat the game out, paving the way for veteran Andy Dalton to start, who had a good outing as he led his team to victory.
The Cardinals, too, have had plenty of days to prepare for this contest, as they are coming off their bye week. Arizona beat the Seattle Seahawks 23-13 in their last game in Week 11 and improved to 9-2, the best record in the NFL. They secured the win without star quarterback Kyler Murray and wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins. The duo has been out for a few weeks due to injuries.
Ahead of Sunday's clash, here's the injury report and starting lineup for both teams.
