The Chicago Bears will welcome in the Miami Dolphins in Week 9 for a matchup between two franchises hitting their stride in different ways. The Bears are certainly loving the progress that second-year quarterback Justin Fields has made throughout the season, as he’s improved his passer rating, QBR, touchdown rate and basically every rushing metric.
The Dolphins have also seen tremendous progress from their young quarterback, but this team is in a position to push for a deep playoff run. Miami is 5-0 straight up in games that Tua Tagovailoa has started and finished, and they’re favored again here versus the Bears. Tua has enjoyed his speedy weapons in Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, so much so that they are the leading receiving teammates in the NFL.
If Miami wants to prove that it’s a real contender, it needs to take care of business on the road against an inferior Bears team.
