The Arizona Cardinals will take on the Chicago Bears at State Farm Stadium on Sunday afternoon. They are favored in the game and hope to win their third straight game, stay atop the NFC West and get above .500 for the first time since 2021.

To do that, they will have to play well in important matches. Which ones should we especially keep an eye on?

LB Zaven Collins vs. LT Larry Borom

The last time Collins had a sack was in Week 2 against the Los Angeles Rams, where he played as a third-string left tackle. Borom is the Bears’ third tackle, with starting Braxton Jones and rookie backup Kiran Amegadjie both out for the game. Collins needs to step up and put pressure on Caleb Williams.

RT Kelvin Beachum, RGs Trystan Colon and Isaiah Adams vs. DE Montez Sweat, DT Gervon Dexter

Beachum has been solid since taking over as the starting right tackle. Colon and Adams have been adequate and the Cardinals haven’t allowed a sack in their last three games.

But the Bears’ top two sack leaders are Sweat and Dexter, who have a combined rating of 7.5.

WR Marvin Harrison Jr. vs. Jaylon Johnson

Harrison is having his best game of the season in terms of production from start to finish. Johnson is one of the best cover guys in the league.

TE Trey McBride vs. LBs TJ Edwards, Tremaine Edmunds

McBride finishes his most productive game of the season with nine catches for 124 yards and has four straight games of 50+ receiving yards. He has 22 catches for 271 yards in his last three games.

Cardinals CBs vs. Bears WRs

The Cardinals secondary is being tested again. After holding their own against Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, they now face DJ Moore, Keenan Allen and rookie Rome Odunze.

Cardinals LBs vs. TE Cole Kmet

Kmet has 27 receptions and three touchdowns this season. He’s one of Caleb Williams’ favorite targets. Kyzir White and Mack Wilson will have a challenge.
