Chicago has not won two straight since the 2021 regular-season finale, while Los Angeles is looking to avoid its first three-game skid since 2020.

The last time Mack faced one of his former teams who was starting a rookie quarterback, he set a franchise record for sacks in a game.
The sixth-year pro ran for 89 yards on 16 attempts last week and tied a career high with three touchdowns — his first as a member of the Bears. He ran for two and a caught a TD pass.SECOND GEAR?
