The Chicago Bears and New England Patriots continue the NFL preseason with a matchup at Gillette Stadium on Thursday night.
Bill Belichick’s squad opened with a 34-22 victory over the New Orleans Saints last week, while the Bears went scoreless in a blowout defeat at the hands of the defending champion Denver Broncos.
“We need to get better,” said Bears quarterback Jay Cutler after the game. “It starts with everybody. It starts with me. So we’ll take a look at it, the limited amount of plays we were in and look at it.”
It’s hard to put much stock in the preseason, but the Bears will be looking to bounce back, especially against a perennial Super Bowl contender.
