The Bears and Patriots both enter “Thursday Night Football” at a strong 4-2, but their seasons have already featured plenty of adversity.

For the Patriots, much of that adversity was self-inflicted. While the team has been hit by significant injuries, Drake Maye and the offense severely underperformed in the early weeks of the season. They have since turned it around and won three consecutive games, positioning themselves as legitimate AFC East contenders.

The Bears, meanwhile, have started three different quarterbacks through six weeks after a hamstring injury sidelined Caleb Williams for three games. Williams returned for last week’s win over the Falcons, and he clearly made an impact on the offense.
