The Chicago Bears and New England Patriots go head-to-head tonight, and it'll be a marquee matchup between two of the NFL's best young signal-callers.

Bears quarterback Caleb Williams is coming off a near-flawless performance against the Atlanta Falcons, completing 30 of 36 passes (including four passes being thrown away) for 305 yards and one TD. Tom Brady called it the best performance of Williams' career.

Meanwhile, Patriots quarterback Drake Maye is also red-hot after stumbling out of the gates to begin the season. New England is riding high with a three-game winning streak, and Maye has thrown 10 TDs with only 1 interception over that span.

Some believe tonight's matchup might even be a Super Bowl preview. Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio planted his flag in that camp when speaking to Rahimi and Grote on 104.3 The Score yesterday.

"We had a game nine nights ago where they kept telling us that it was a Super Bowl preview between the Rams and the Bills. I'd say Bears and Patriots has a better chance to be a Super Bowl preview," Florio said. "Exciting game on Thursday night."

Vegas likes Chicago's odds of coming away with a win at Soldier Field. The Bears are currently 3-point favorites for the Week 7 clash (according to DraftKings Sportsbook).
