ATLANTA \u2013 The Atlanta Falcons<\/a> look to rebound at home in their first non-primetime game since Week 2, after narrowly missing a perfect 3-0 performance in front of a national audience. The Falcons squandered a late lead to the Ravens and eventually succumbed in overtime.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Chicago Bears are also eager to put some bad Week 5 memories behind them. They fell to the Packers in a humbling fashion, but they will get some reinforcements in quarterback Caleb Williams. With both Williams and Michael Penix Jr. returning Sunday, it marks the first time the former 2024 top-10 picks and Pac-12 rivals will have faced off since college. Given how these offenses performed without them, Atlanta and Chicago fans are breathing a sigh of relief.<\/p>\n

Beyond the quarterbacks, both offenses will lean heavily on the run, with these squads ranking No. 1 and No. 2 in the NFL in rushing offense. Both units will look to establish the ground game<\/a>, taking pressure off their beat-up signal-callers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Defensively, the Falcons will hope to get edge rusher Za\u2019Darius Smith back from a concussion\/neck injury that held him out last Sunday, while the Bears have a few question marks<\/a>. It will also mark the first time former Falcon defensive lineman Grady Jarrett will play in Atlanta for another franchise.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Falcons are slight underdogs at home (-1), but Vegas expects a high-scoring affair (54 o\/u). Here\u2019s everything you need to know to watch the Falcons\u2019 Week 6 matchup with the Bears.\u00a0<\/p>\n
