Week 5 Indianapolis Colts vs Chicago Bears

The Colts (1-3) head to Chicago to play the Bears (1-3). Last week, Indianapolis lost 30-27 to the Jaguars. Chicago won 17-14 against Detroit.

Offensive

Indianapolis wants to try to play balanced, but they lean more towards throwing the ball. Chicago will try to do the same exact thing. The Bears tend to have more success while running the ball then the Colts (4.1 yards per rushing compared to 3.9). Both teams' defense is not amazing, so expect a decent scoring game.

Chicago has 6 sacks (0.5+ sacks from 6 different people) and 3 INTs. The Bears have only given up 210 passing yards per game and 123.5 rushing yards per game. Indianapolis, on the other hand, has allowed 261 passing yards and 88 rushing yards per game.
