Whenever the Patriots blow into town, the Windy City has treated them well.
New England’s last loss in Chicago came in 2000, prior to the organization’s six Super Bowl titles or either one of Thursday’s starting quarterback being born.
Will that streak of four consecutive wins be extended on Thursday night?
The Patriots (4-2) enter with an injury list resembling a CVS receipt. Offensive guards Alijah Vera-Tucker and Ben Brown will both miss Thursday’s game, as will cornerbacks Carlton Davis III, Karon Prunty, and Channing Canada. Vera-Tucker was placed on injured reserve Thursday.
Romeo Doubs joined fellow receiver Mack Hollins on the injured reserve this week. Doubs sustained a shoulder injury on a 42-yard touchdown catch in Sunday’s win over the Jets.
The Bears (4-2) cruise into Thursday’s matchup coming off a 31-23 victory against the Falcons. Quarterback Caleb Williams returned from a three-game absence and showed no rust, finishing 30 of 36 passing for 305 yards and a touchdown.
Can the depleted Patriots slow down Williams and a potent Bears’ rushing attack?
The game kicks off at 8:15 p.m. and can be watched on Amazon Prime and WCVB Channel 5. The Globe will have updates throughout the game.

Bears recover onside kick — 11:23 p.m.
By Matt Pepin
Receiver Rome Odunze recovered New England’s onside kick, and the Bears will be able to run out the clock because the Patriots are out of time outs.
Final score: Bears 30, Patriots 24.
Patriots add three in bid for another possession — 11:21 p.m.
By Matt Pepin
The Patriots added a 47-yard field goal from Andy Borregales with 37 seconds left to cut the lead to 30-24 and give themselves a chance to recover an onside kick.
Bears make it a two-score game — 11:16 p.m.
By Matt Pepin
A drive that began at their own 9-yard-line with 6:28 left in the fourth quarter chewed up a lot of time and gave the Bears a two-score lead.
Cairo Santos kicked a 58-yard field goal to cap the drive, and the Bears lead, 30-21, with 1:39 left.
Christian Barmore sacked Caleb Williams on third-and-5 – the 11th play of the drive – and appeared to take the Bears out of field-goal range and force a punt.
But the Bears elected to let Santos try the kick, and he delivered his career long.
Patriots stopped, but pin Bears deep — 10:59 p.m.
By Cam Kerry
Not exactly what the doctor ordered for the Patriots: a three and out.
A sack on second down resulted in a 9-yard loss, sealing the Patriots’ fate on that drive that lasted just 1:35. Mitch Wishnowsky punted 45 yards to the Bears’ 9-yard line. The Bears will look to pad their advantage with 6:22 remaining.
Bears field goal attempt hits goalpost — 10:53 p.m.
By Cam Kerry
The Bears had a chance to make it a two-possession game, but came inches away from doing so. Cairo Santos clanged a 53-yard field goal try off the right post, the sound of the miss ringing around the Soldier Field night.
The Bears chewed up 6:45 off the clock, but the Patriots have a chance to tie or take the lead with just under eight minutes to play.
Bears stop Patriots to end third quarter — 10:41 p.m.
By Cam Kerry
The Patriots were forced to punt on the first play of the fourth quarter. On third and 1, Will Campbell jumped early and set the Patriots back five yards. Drake Maye recovered four yards on a scramble, but as New England lined up to go for it, right guard Matt Pryor — in the game due to the laundry list of Patriots’ injured offensive linemen — committed a false start.
Mitch Wishnowsky punted 43 yards to the Bears’ 14-yard line.
After three quarters, it’s still anyone’s game — 10:37 p.m.
By Cam Kerry
At the end of three quarters, the Patriots trail, 27-21. The Bears started the second half off on the right foot, driving down the field for a touchdown.
Then Eli Raridon reeled in a 30-yard touchdown catch to cut into the deficit for the Patriots.
New England faces a fourth and 2 at their own 48-yard line when the fourth quarter begins.
Maye to Raridon closes the gap — 10:24 p.m.
By Cam Kerry
There’s the Drake Maye to Eli Raridon touchdown that was schemed up in the first half.
Raridon got the best of Bears linebacker Devin Bush in man coverage and Maye put it right in the breadbox, culminating a nine-play, 80-yard drive with a 30-yard score that took almost six minutes off the clock.
The Patriots looked dead to rights early in the drive, but Maye escaped Dillon Thieneman’s tackle outside the pocket and located Hunter Henry for a 13-yard gain on third and 7.
The Patriots trail by 6, 27-21, with 3:46 left in the third quarter.
Bears score on first possession of second half — 10:09 p.m.
By Cam Kerry
The Bears came out of locker room and took it to the Patriots on the opening drive of the second half.
A nine-play, 72-yard drive that chewed up over five minutes resulted in a 12-yard touchdown pass to Colston Loveland from Caleb Williams.
Loveland caught it in the flat, broke a tackle by Marcus Jones, and found paydirt to give the Bears a 27-14 lead with 9:41 left in the third quarter.
Any momentum the Patriots gained from their last-gasp touchdown prior to halftime is now in the wind.
Price’s halftime analysis — 9:56 p.m.
By Christopher Price
Two quarters are in the books here at Soldier Field, and the Patriots are down 20-14. Here are a few quick notes:
Drake Maye: 12-18, 169 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT
Rhamondre Stevenson: 4 carries, 18 yards; 4 catches, 4 targets, 80 yards, 1 TD
Caleb Williams: 9-16, 167 yards, 1 TD
D’Andre Swift: 9 carries, 37 yards
Luther Burden: 4 catches, 4 targets, 130 yards, 1 TD
• You want the Clifs Notes version of the halftime analysis? For much of the first half, the Patriots looked like a banged-up team playing on the road in a short week.
• Still reading? OK. New England hasn’t looked downfield all that much over the course of the first half; maybe it’s scheme/matchups, maybe it’s something that Drake Maye doesn’t like, maybe it’s something else. (Maybe Josh McDaniels doesn’t trust the patchwork offensive line to hold up?) Whatever the case may be, the Patriots wide receivers finished the first half with just three catches. (A.J. Brown had one catch on two targets.) Even when you’re shorthanded on offense because of injury, that number is astounding.
• Maye seemed to get more comfortable as the first half went on, but a red-zone turnover with 3:25 left in the second quarter was the very essence of the worst kind of giveaway; the Patriots, driving for a go-ahead score, gave the ball back to the Bears. According to ESPN, that was Maye’s third interception on a pass thrown to the end zone this season. He’s the only quarterback with multiple such interceptions.
• It’s not exclusive, but it is notable that the Patriots — who are more of a traditional man-heavy team on defense this year — playing some zone in the early going. Again, it’s not on every snap, but it’s enough to be noticeable. Could be a nod to the fact that Williams has a tendency to make things happen with his legs when a play breaks down and they just want to be extra-aware. Could be scheme. We’ll see if it holds up. Regardless, it feels like the defense is really working to keep the Patriots in this one. That being said, New England needs to find some sort of offensive jolt quickly. That giveaway at the end of the first half isn’t what the Patriots were looking for.
• Speaking of the Maye interception, the Bears made them pay, turning it around and putting a touchdown on the board at the end of the first half when Burden caught a 24-yard touchdown pass from Williams with 14 seconds left to make it 20-7.
• On their third drive of the evening — near the end of the first quarter — Chicago reached the end zone for the first time on the night. Williams got the Bears into the red zone with a really nice laser over the middle to Burden, who went streaking through the New England secondary for a 58-yard pickup. (It was the longest play from scrimmage for either team in the first half.) The next play, Swift took it around the end for a 4-yard touchdown run, making it 10-0 with 1:38 left in quarter.
• Neither team was particularly effective on the ground through the first two quarters, with the Bears only slightly better than New England. The Patriots’ first carry of more than 5 yards came early in the second quarter when Stevenson hit a 13-yard run that got New England into the Chicago red zone for the first time. The Patriots finished that drive with a 7-yard scramble from Maye that cut the Chicago lead to 10-7 with 11:33 left in the half.
(For what it’s worth, I’m pretty sure Bill Belichick didn’t like the looks of how Maye extended his arms to get that touchdown. That move was a no-no in the Belichick playbook, because it’s easier to get the ball knocked out of your hands when you have it just hanging out there. Either way, it was the difference for Maye on that touchdown.)
• The high point of the New England offense in the first half came with no time left in the second quarter when Maye found Stevenson on a 48-yard touchdown pass to draw New England to within six — 20-14 — at the end of the half.
• Brenden Schooler just missed a big tackle on punt coverage on a play with less than four minutes left in the first quarter. Kick returner Corey Kiner was laid out on a kick return opportunity near the end of the first quarter. The Patriots yielded a 47-yard kick return midway through the second quarter that allowed the Bears some good field position to start their drive.
• The Bears will get the ball to start the second half.
Patriots respond with TD on final play of first half — 9:47 p.m.
By Cam Kerry
Well how about that? Two plays, 66 yards, 14 seconds — and seven points for the Patriots.
With three seconds on the clock and on the Bears’ 48-yard line, Drake Maye lofted a screen to Rhamondre Stevenson. Stevenson received a stellar block from DeMario Douglas, erasing a pair of defenders, and Stevenson did the rest, weaving into the end zone for a dramatic — and unexpected — score.
At halftime, it’s 20-14 Bears. Chicago will receive the second-half kickoff.
Bears strike again just before halftime — 9:43 p.m.
By Cam Kerry
A comedy of errors plagued the Patriots on the Bears’ scoring drive just before halftime.
The Patriots defense forced Caleb Williams to throw it harmlessly out of bounds on third and 4, but Carlton Davis III grabbed Khalif Raymond downfield behind the play and was flagged for a holding — keeping the unit on the field.
It didn’t go well for the visitors the rest of the drive. Gabe Jacas took a whack at Williams well after the ball was released on a 22-yard catch-and-run with Luther Burden III, adding a 15-yard penalty onto the long completion.
Things went from bad to worse when Burden III took a quick screen 24 yards to the house on third and 17 with just 14 seconds remaining in the half.
The 10-play, 80-yard drive lasted 3:11. The Bears get the ball to start the second half.
Burden already has 130 receiving yards in the first half.
Maye intercepted in end zone, erasing a scoring chance — 9:30 p.m.
By Cam Kerry
Stop me if you’ve heard this before: a promising Patriots’ drive comes to a screeching halt because of a Drake Maye interception in the end zone.
Maye tried to connect with Eli Raridon — who was in single coverage — in the end zone. He underthrew the rookie tight end, gifting Bears linebacker D’Marco Jackson an easy interception for a touchback.
The Bears take over with 3:25 remaining in the half and have a chance to add to their lead.
Promising drive stalls, Bears settle for 3 — 9:19 p.m.
By Cam Kerry
Immediately after the Patriots cut into the deficit, the Bears get three points back. The Bears settled for a 31-yard field goal that made it 13-7 with 6:58 left in the second quarter.
Rome Odunze was flagged for an offensive pass interference call in the end zone, which the Patriots declined, to set up the kick. The Bears also moved backward when quarterback Caleb Williams was flagged for an illegal forward handoff after giving it to guard Joe Thuney, a former Patriot.
Chicago’s 9-play drive went 30 yards and lasted 4:29.
Maye’s run just enough for a touchdown — 9:07 p.m.
By Cam Kerry
A heck of an effort from Drake Maye resulted in a Patriots touchdown. The 6-foot-4-inch quarterback took off and when met by Clark Phillips III at the 2-yard line, he used an extra effort to extend the nose of the football just into the goal line.
He was originally marked down short, but Mike Vrabel successfully challenged.
It was a vastly improved drive for the Patriots, who used several short-range passes to move the sticks. Rhamondre Stevenson found a hole, utilizing a slick jump-cut for a 13-yard gain, which set up the Maye 7-yard touchdown run.
It was a 9-play, 74-yard drive that took more than five minutes off the clock.
Bears lead after first quarter — 8:57 p.m.
By Cam Kerry and Christopher Price
At the end of the first quarter, the Patriots trail 10-0. Drake Maye is 6 of 8 for 51 yards, but the offense has been unimpressive and has not taken a shot down the field. Rhamondre Stevenson, TreVeyon Henderson, and Corey Kiner have combined for 13 yards on six carries.
Stats glance:
Maye: 6-8, 51 yards
Stevenson: 2 catches, 2 targets, 23 yards
Henderson: 2 carries, 6 yards
Williams: 4-7, 95 yards
Burden: 2 catches, 2 targets, 84 yards
Bears find the end zone — 8:52 p.m.
By Cam Kerry
The Bears added to their lead with a five-play, 74-yard drive that lasted just two minutes and gave Chicago a 10-0 lead with 1:38 left in the first quarter. D’Andre Swift scored his seventh touchdown of the year, bouncing outside and through a Robert Spillane arm-tackle for a 4-yard score.
A busted coverage left Luther Burden III with an acre of space in the middle of the field. Christian Elliss lost the second-year wide receiver in coverage and Burden III went 58 yards to the Patriots’ 4-yard line. He was dragged down by his former teammate, Kevin Byard III.
Another three-and-out for New England — 8:47 p.m.
By Cam Kerry
More conservative play calling resulted in a second-straight three and out for the Patriots. Corey Kiner took a pair of carries prior to DeMario Douglas catching a screen pass that went nowhere. New England gained just one yard.
Mitch Wishnowsky punted again for 46 yards. The Bears take over at their 19-yard line.
Da Bears honor one of their legends, coach Mike Ditka — 8:45 p.m.
By Cam Kerry
Prior to kickoff, the Bears honored Mike Ditka. The legendary coach and player, who won titles as both with Chicago, passed away on Oct. 9 at the age of 86.
Ditka helped revolutionize the tight end position as a five-time Pro Bowl selection and won Super Bowl VI.
He also coached the Bears to a dominant 46-10 win over the Patriots in Super Bowl XX.
In addition to a moment of silence, many fans dressed up in his iconic Bears vest and mustache. It is the team’s first home game since his passing.
Early observations on the Patriots — 8:42 p.m.
By Christopher Price
Per ESPN Research: The Patriots entered tonight 8-of-10 on foirth down, second best in the NFL behind Minnesota (3-of-3).
Additionally, they entered the day 1 of 10 teams with 10 fourth-down attempts. Chicago had the most with 15.
It’s not exclusive, but it is notable the Patriots — who are more of a traditional man-heavy team on defense this year — playing some zone here in the early going.
Again, it’s not on every snap, but it’s enough to be noticeable.
Patriots go three-and-out — 8:34 p.m.
By Cam Kerry
The Patriots go three and out on their second drive. A pair of TreVeyon Henderson runs resulted in a total of 6 yards and on third down, Drake Maye and Kyle Williams couldn’t find the timing on a mid-range pass toward the sideline.
Mitch Wishnowsky punted 46 yards to the Bears’ 21-yard line.
Bears draw first blood — 8:29 p.m.
By Cam Kerry
After a 26-yard completion to Luther Burden III to start the Bears’ drive, Cairo Santos drills a 43-yard field goal to give Chicago a 3-0 lead just over five minutes into the first quarter.
Patriots stopped on fourth down — 8:25 p.m.
By Cam Kerry
That certainly wasn’t how the Patriots schemed up their first drive. New England turned it over on downs after Kyler Gordon sacked Drake Maye in a collapsing pocket on fourth and 1.
Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels teed up a Rhamondre Stevenson run up the middle on third-and-6, which resulted in just a 1-yard gain.Maye finished 3 of 4 for 33 yards on the opening drive, with all three competitions to running backs.
The Bears take over on their own 46.
Patriots receive opening kickoff — 8:15 p.m.
By Cam Kerry
The Bears won the toss and chose to defer. Drake Maye and the Patriots’ offense got the ball first.
Corey Kiner returned the opening kickoff 26 yards to the Bears’ 31-yard line.
Here’s the new look of the Patriots’ offensive line — 7:55 p.m.
By Christopher Price
Patriots starting OL in warmups: RT Morgan Moses, RG Matt Pryor, C Jared Wilson, LG Walter Rouse, LT Will Campbell.
How might this turn out? Here are the Globe staff’s predictions — 7:50 p.m.
Bears 24, Patriots 20. It’s an awfully big ask to have this New England team go on the road on a short week and come away with a win. Home teams on Thursday night hold a decided advantage; if this one was back in Foxborough, I’d give the edge to the Patriots. But given how badly the New England roster is banged up, I’ll go with Caleb Williams and Chicago, just barely. – Christopher Price
Patriots 27, Bears 20: The Patriots are extremely injured, but Mike Vrabel’s teams thrive as underdogs. – Nicole Yang
Bears 31, Patriots 24: This is a very tough game to read given the state of the Patriots’ offensive line. – Chad Finn
The Globe staff’s players to watch on both sides — 7:35 p.m.
Patriots
Charles Woods. The cornerback will likely be the one asked to step in again for Carlton Davis. Woods did as well as could be expected last week against the Jets as the No. 2 corner, coming away with his first pick of the season and earning a game ball from Mike Vrabel in the process. But he’s the fourth-best defensive back on the New England roster. If there’s a soft spot in the secondary, it’s Woods. Expect Caleb Williams to test him. – Christopher Price
A.J. Brown. Let’s hope he got that out of his system, huh? After four weeks on injured reserve with a high ankle sprain, the dynamic receiver returned against the Jets … and delivered what felt in the moment like one of the worst performances by a receiver in recent NFL history. On the plus side, he was open consistently. With Romeo Doubs on injured reserve, the Patriots need Brown to have shaken off all the rust. – Chad Finn
A.J. Brown. After a wretched performance in his first game back off of injured reserve, Brown will be looking to rebound. The pressure will certainly be on, especially with Romeo Doubs and Mack Hollins on injured reserve. Quarterback Drake Maye has rightfully expressed confidence in Brown, a former All-Pro. – Nicole Yang
Bears
D’Andre Swift. The Bears are without Kyle Monangai tonight, which means Swift is going to get the bulk of the carries against the Patriots. New England has occasionally struggled when it comes to its run defense. If the Patriots can find a way to slow down Swift, the Patriots will theoretically be able to make Chicago a one-dimensional offense, which would be a step in the right direction. – Christopher Price
Luther Burden: The second-year receiver is coming off his best game of the season, catching all eight of his targets for 95 yards in the win over the Falcons. While 2024 ninth overall pick Rome Odunze is perceived as the Bears’ No. 1 receiver, Burden is more dangerous. It’s going to be interesting to discover how Christian Gonzalez will be deployed against a diverse Bears offense. – Chad Finn
D’Andre Swift. The Patriots defense struggled to contain the Jets on the ground. With Kyle Monangai sidelined, Swift will carry the bulk of the workload out of the backfield. – Nicole Yang
A few things to keep an eye on tonight — 7:20 p.m.
By Christopher Price
A few final things to consider tonight:
• Both the Patriots and Bears play more man coverage than most. With two mobile quarterbacks who love to use their legs to try and make plays, it’ll be interesting to see if either team changes its defensive look to try and slow the other quarterback.
• The last time the Bears beat the Patriots in Chicago was Dec. 11, 2000. The starting quarterbacks in that game? Drew Bledsoe and Shane Matthews.
• It’s an OK uniform matchup. I don’t love the monochromatic look for the Patriots, but the white pants/white jerseys is the better of the two offerings. The Bears are in their classic navy blues with white pants. Simple, understated look.
See the inactives for Thursday’s game — 7:10 p.m.
By Christopher Price
The following players were announced as inactive for the Patriots prior to the game.
Cornerbacks Channing Canada, Carlton Davis, and Karon Prunty were downgraded on Friday, so none of those could be classified as a surprise. Offensive lineman Ben Brown (knee) has struggled with injury issues all season; in place of Brown and Alijah Vera-Tucker (who was placed on injured reserve earlier in the day), Walter Rouse and Matt Pryor are likely to get the start at each guard position.
The only healthy scratch of the evening is defensive tackle Joshua Farmer, while the third/emergency quarterback is rookie Behren Morton.
Among the notables who are set to play tonight including right tackle Morgan Moses. The veteran right tackle, who wasn’t able to finish last week’s game against the Jets and was in a walking boot after the contest, is active. However, if he stumbles, New England could turn to rookie Caleb Lomu, who stepped in late in last week’s win for Moses. Lomu could also be a depth addition at guard if either Rouse or Pryor have issues.
The Bears’ inactive list includes quarterback Case Keenum (emergency third QB), running back Kyle Monangai, defensive back Nick McCloud, linebackers T.J. Edwards and Jack Sanborn, offensive lineman Jordan McFadden, and defensive lineman Jayden Loving.
Alan Eck to officiate tonight’s game — 7:00 p.m.
By Christopher Price
Alan Eck will serve as the referee for tonight’s Patriots-Bears game. In his fourth season as an NFL referee, Eck will be working his first New England game of the season, and his first since November 2025.
Eck and his crew, who have worked five games through the first six weeks of the season, have tied with Ronald Torbert’s officiating crew for the fewest numbers of flags this season (66, not counted penalties that were dismissed).
He’s most inclined to throw flags for offensive holding — 13 on the year.
Maybe A.J. Brown’s hands will show up, plus players to watch and a prediction for Patriots vs. Bears — 6:40 p.m.
By Chad Finn
Six games and four victories into the Patriots’ season, this much can be said with both certainty and appreciation:
They are a resilient group. September brought unanticipated and alarming concerns, plural, about third-year quarterback Drake Maye. They won one of their first three games. Injuries have forced constant shuffling on the offensive line. When one receiver returns from injury, another inevitably falls.
And yet here they are, heading to Chicago for a showdown with Maye’s 2024 draft classmate Caleb Williams on a three-game winning streak. Maye returned to MVP-candidate form as if all it took was a snap of the fingers. On Sunday, the line did not allow a sack to the Jets despite losing three starters. Most of A.J. Brown returned last week, with his hands presumably arriving soon. And the defense, we must note, has been clever and commanding.
Three up, three down, and three Patriots to watch vs. the Bears — 6:20 p.m.
By Nicole Yang
Drake Maye: Sunday against the Jets wasn’t the offense’s best day, but Maye turned in a clean sheet with no turnovers and three touchdown passes. His completion percentage (56.3) was lower than average, but that was impacted by A.J. Brown’s multiple drops on catchable balls. Maye’s early-season woes appear to be behind him. According to Next Gen Stats, he now leads the NFL in deep passing yards this season with 439. That stat is encouraging, as Maye’s ability to convert deep downfield was one of his defining qualities last season.
Patriots guard Alijah Vera-Tucker placed on injured reserve — 6:00 p.m.
By Cam Kerry
The Patriots placed starting left guard Alijah Vera-Tucker on injured reserve Thursday. Vera-Tucker, 27, signed with the team this offseason after a four-year stint with the Jets. He had appeared in six games prior to picking up a hamstring injury in Sunday’s 26-19 win over the Jets.
The Patriots elevated offensive lineman Xavier Newman-Johnson to the active roster from their practice squad. Newman-Johnson, 27, has played in 25 career games in stints with the Titans (2022-23) and Jets (2023-25).
New England also elevated linebacker Benton Whitley to the active roster. He is from Springfield, Mass. and attended Holy Cross. He has played in six career games between the Vikings and Giants.
Gasper: The Patriots’ unsung defense has been the main reason for their success — 5:45 p.m.
The Patriots’ defense forms the low-maintenance, highly valuable bedrock of the team. If Drake Maye and the offense are the cool kids taking Instagram pics, the defense is the button-down-shirt-wearing dad who just gets all the essential errands done. Offense gets the glory in the NFL. Defense does the dirty work.
But there’s no way the Patriots bounce back from Maye’s false start and a 1-2 start to the season to capture three straight heading into Thursday night’s matchup with the Bears without the defense standing out and standing its ground. It is the unsung, underrated, metronomic merchant of the Patriots’ success this season.
This defense doesn’t rest. It usually befuddles and bottles up opposing offenses and quarterbacks to keep the Patriots in games.
The Patriots haven’t allowed a 300-yard passer or a 100-yard rusher this season. They’re fifth in the league in points allowed at 18.8 per game and sixth in total defense (300.8 yards per game). They’re one of two teams not to allow a rush of 20 yards or more. They rank ninth in fewest plays of 20 yards or more surrendered. Even with the outlier, ugly 35-6 loss to Jacksonville in Week 3 in which they allowed the Jaguars to go 5 for 5 in the red zone while Maye treated the football like a Goodwill donation item, the Patriots sit tied for seventh in red-zone touchdown percentage allowed (50 percent).
By any measure, this defense is good.
