The Bears head into Sunday’s matchup with the Steelers carrying a lot of momentum, but this game has all the ingredients for chaos—and a few surprises. Here are three bold predictions for what could be a dramatic afternoon at Soldier Field.
1. Aaron Rodgers Suits Up—and Shines
It feels strange to even type it, but don’t rule out Aaron Rodgers playing on Sunday. By all accounts, he’s pushing hard to get back on the field, and no opponent motivates him quite like the Chicago Bears. If he’s active, expect vintage Rodgers: quick reads, precision throws, and just enough magic to remind Chicago fans why he’s long been their nightmare.
2. Caleb Williams Struggles

This isn’t about talent—Caleb Williams has all the tools. But something about this matchup feels off. Pittsburgh’s defense thrives on confusion and pressure, and my gut says this could be one of those rough outings where timing feels off and drives stall. Hopefully Williams proves this prediction wrong, but it has the makings of a frustrating watch.
The Steelers added QB/WR John Rhys Plumlee to their practice squad this week to mimic Caleb Williams escape ability.

Expect multiple turnovers on each side, and whichever team turns those mistakes into seven instead of three will walk away with the win. The Bears, unfortunately, haven’t been great in that department.
Final Score Prediction:
Steelers 24, Bears 23
