Bears vs. Rams live score, updates, highlights from ‘Monday Night Football’ game

Two similar teams will go up against each other in Week 7’s “Monday Night Football” game.

The Bears (5-1) are led defensively by dominant pass-rusher in Khalil Mack and have a young offensive-minded coach in Matt Nagy with explosive weapons such as running back David Montgomery and wide receiver Allen Robinson.

The Rams (4-2) also have a defensive stalwart on the interior in Aaron Donald, along with their own new-age offensive guru in Sean McVay, who has deep threats such as Cooper Kupp and Robert Woods at his disposal.

Both teams are off to successful starts after disappointing seasons in 2019. For Chicago, the key has been making the switch from Mitchell Trubisky to Nick Foles, who is more aggressive in throwing the ball deep down the field. For LA, it has been just as much about improving offensive line play as it has been maturation for Jared Goff, who is learning to trust his protection more this season.
