Everything to know ahead of Bears’ Week 4 game vs. Broncos

The Chicago Bears will face the Denver Broncos in Week 4, where Chicago is looking to snap a 13-game losing streak dating back to last season. And this might be their best chance to get their first win of the season.

The Bears are a mess right now, but so are the Broncos, who just gave up 70 points to the Miami Dolphins last week. But even though Denver lost by 50 points, they’re still the favorites to win this game. Which speaks to how bad Chicago has been.
