Here are the inactives for both teams today.

No Rob Gronkowski helps the Bears.

---

For the second straight week. the NFC North leading Chicago Bears (3-2) are taking on the AFC East leaders, but this time it’s the always tough New England Patriots (4-2).

The Pats have been a consistent Super Bowl threat for nearly 20 years because they got the perfect marriage between head coach and quarterback. The Bill Belichick, Tom Brady partnership has been the best ever, and the Bears hope to have found theirs in Matt Nagy and Mitchell Trubisky.

Time will tell.

But a Bears win on Sunday would be nice start.
