Musket Fire previews the Bears players New England most needs to contain in tonight's primetime game.

The Patriots turned their season around with wins over the Bills, Raiders and Jets, averaging 33.3 points per game. If they beat Chicago and Buffalo loses to the Ravens on Sunday, they take over the division lead.

Chicago has offensive star power: Ben Johnson is a top playcaller, Caleb Williams is back from injury and D'Andre Swift is on pace for more than 1,500 scrimmage yards. The Bears' defense has been inconsistent but has held opponents under 13 points three times.
