What channel is Bears vs. Patriots on today? Time, TV schedule

The Chicago Bears will face the New England Patriots on Thursday Night Football, where Chicago is looking to win their second straight in the first of three consecutive prime-time games ahead of their Week 10 bye.

The Bears are coming off a 31-23 win over the Atlanta Falcons, which featured the returns of quarterback Caleb Williams and cornerback Kyler Gordon, who provided huge boosts to the team. Now, on a short week, Chicago welcomes the defending AFC Champion Patriots, who have been rolling after a rough start. Former 2024 draft mates Caleb Williams and Drake Maye will square off for the second time in three years, and we'll see if Williams can even the score.
