This week’s matchup between the Chicago Bears and the Indianapolis Colts will feature two teams that are trying to dig themselves out of a hole after starting the 2016 NFL season with a 1-3 record. The Bears are riding off the emotional high of their first win of the year, but have been knocked down closer to reality after dealing with more injuries to key players. As for the Colts, they are trying to rebound from a disappointing loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Even though this Week 5 contest doesn’t have a “Game of the Week” feel to it, this game is still a crucial one for both ball clubs, and could make or break either team at such an early point in the season. With both the Bears and the Colts struggling, it’s hard to predict who will have the upper hand on Sunday, but in the end someone has to have the edge.
