VIDEO: 3 Keys To A Patriots Win Over Bears
BOSTON (CBS) -- The New England Patriots start a tough six-game stretch Sunday afternoon at Gillette Stadium when they host the 3-4 Chicago Bears.
The Bears may be under .500 and going through a little locker room turmoil at the moment but they bring a powerful offensive attack to Foxboro, led by running back Matt Forte (fifth in the NFL with 448 rushing yards) and a one of the best wide receiver tandems in Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery.
WBZ-TV's Dan Roche and Levan Reid bring you three keys for the Patriots to walk away with a victory on Sunday (check out the video above):
1. The bodies up front on the defensive line need to contain Forte.
2. Patriots defensive backs need to battle Chicago's tall receivers for the ball.
3. New England needs to take advantage of a banged-pp Bears secondary.
"I do like them here at home. Even though the Bears have won all of their games on the road, I think that streak stops here," said Reid.
Tale Of The Tape: Bears vs. Patriots
Levan thinks it will be a low-scoring affair with Chicago focusing on their ground attack, while Roche believes Jay Cutler and company will be drawn into a higher-scoring shootout with the Patriots coming out on top.
