An all-rookie midseason team chosen by The Athletic obviously had Jayden Daniels as quarterback but another rookie was named over the Bears QB as No. 2 rookie QB.

The Chicago Bears badly need a victory this week before a demanding NFC North stretch begins. The Bears will be treated Sunday with a visit to Soldier Field from the 2-7 New England Patriots, who are in their own state of disarray and coming off a 20-17 overtime loss to the Tennessee Titans.

Bears wide receiver DJ Moore spent some time on Wednesday explaining why he left the field during a play against the Cardinals in last Sunday's loss, but that singular moment hasn't been the biggest issue with Moore's performance this season.
