Packers Battle Bears Sunday

(Green Bay, WI) -- The Packers battle the NFC North rival Chicago Bears on Sunday at Soldier Field. The Pack fell to 1-2 with last Sunday's 19-7 setback in Detroit. Chicago is 2-1 after beating the Jets Monday night. The Pack have won seven of the last eight meetings but the Bears lead the all-time series 89-93-6.

The Bears are changing up the roster. Linebacker Darryl Sharpton has been signed to a one-year deal. The team also released veteran fullback Tony Fiammetta with an injury settlement. Sharpton played 42 games for the Texans from 2010 to 2013.

The Bears are looking to get healthy ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Packers at Solider Field. Jared Allen, Roberto Garza and Matt Slauson were among those that did not practice Thursday. Brandon Marshall was also held out with his ankle injury.


Rams Off Sunday

(St. Louis, MO) -- The Rams have no game on Sunday as they are on their bye. The team returns to action a week from Sunday on the road against the currently unbeaten Eagles. Philadelphia is 3-0 and plays at San Francisco on Sunday. The Rams are 1-and-2 after losing 34-31 to Dallas last weekend.


NFL Week Four Preview

The NFL Schedule is light on Sunday as bye weeks have begun. Two of three undefeated teams are off in the Bengals and Cardinals. The Eagles put their 3-0 record on the line taking on the 49ers at Levi's Stadium. The Jets try to avoid losing a third straight game to a team from the same division playing the Lions at MetLife Stadium. Ryan Fitzpatrick faces his former team as the Texans welcome the Bills to Houston. Two 2-1 teams square off in Baltimore as the Ravens and Panthers meet. The Sunday night game should be a high-scoring affair with the Cowboys and Saints set to battle at Jerry's World.
