The Chicago Bears will battle the Cleveland Browns in Week 15, where Chicago is looking to bounce back after a rough loss and keep up in the NFC playoffs race.

The Bears are coming off a close 28-21 loss to the Green Bay Packers, which marked their first defeat in the last six games. Chicago got off to a rough start in the first half, trailing 14-3, before mounting an impressive second-half comeback. Quarterback Caleb Williams led three consecutive scoring drives, including the game-tying touchdown in the final minutes. After the defense allowed a Packers touchdown, Williams appeared poised for another comeback drive. Unfortunately, it ended in an interception in the end zone.

Now, Chicago will look to get back on track in a very winnable game against a three-win Cleveland team ahead of a rematch against the Packers next week. But the Bears need to avoid a potential trap game and focus on the Browns rather than that Green Bay rematch. Here's how Chicago and Cleveland stack up statistically ahead of Sunday's matchup.
