Updated TV schedule for Bears vs Colts, odds, streaming, previews, and more

The 3-0 Chicago Bears take on the 2-1 Indianapolis Colts on Sunday in a battle that features two top 10 defenses.

The Bears having a good D was to be expected, but the Colts’ defensive ranking is a bit of a surprise. Some of that could be aided by their less than stellar opponents (Jaguars, Vikings, Jets), but there is some star power among Indy’s defenders; Darius Leonard, DeForest Buckner, and Justin Houston to name a few.

On the other side of the ball all eyes will be on new starting QB Nick Foles when the Bears are on offense, and when the Colts have the rock my attention will be in the trenches where Quenton Nelson does work at left guard.

Here’s everything you need to know about the Bears vs Colts game.
