How to watch the Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Chicago Bears game in Week 12 of the NFL schedule

It's Week 12 of the NFL schedule and the Pittsburgh Steelers are on the road to face the Chicago Bears for an AFC North vs. NFC North matchup at Soldier Field. Here's how you can watch the game.

Pittsburgh (6-4) is on a roller coaster of wins and losses the last four weeks and enter the game looking to make it two straight victories on the heels of last Sunday's 34-12 win vs. the Cincinnati Bengals. 

Chicago (7-3) enters the contest on a three-game winning streak with consecutive victories against Cincinnati, the New York Giants, and Minnesota.

Aaron Rodgers will not play against the Bears

Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers' status for the game was up in the air as the veteran is dealing with a slight fracture in his non-throwing hand he suffered in last week's win vs. the Bengals.

Rodgers was listed as questionable for the game after missing practice Wednesday and being limited on Thursday and Friday.

On Thursday, Rodgers appeared to have a brace of some sort on his wrist and took snaps from the shotgun formation. 

However, on Sunday morning, according to reports from NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero, Rodgers was ruled out, and Mason Rudolph was named the starter. 

According to Rapoport and Pelissero's report, Rodgers "should play next week" when the Steelers are back home at Acrisure Stadium for a 4:25 matchup against the Buffalo Bills.
