Bold predictions for Bears-Falcons Week 6 showdown
Bijan Robinson has season-low rushing yards vs. Bears

Montez Sweat and Dayo Odeyingbo are out, so Booker knows this is his time to shine; watch him step up and get two more sacks this season. Watch season, which would give him a career-high six in 2026.
Jaylon Johnson bounces back with allowing a passer rating over 100
Johnson has been slammed for his performance over the first five weeks of the season, which is justified. He knows he needs a good game to return to his 2024 Pro Bowl form against the Falcons' strong offense. While allowing under 100 passer rating may not seem like a great stat, it should be compared to how his season has gone so far, so it's worth gunning for.
D'Andre Swift rushes for under 50 yards for Bears
This Bears offense couldn't run the football efficiently in Week 5 without Kyle Monangai on the field. Monangai is out again, so D'Andre Swift has to step up and try to get the rushing attack back on track. Atlanta has the fourth-best run defense in the NFL, allowing 80.2 yards per game.
