Setting the stage

A victory Monday night would be the 325th of Bill Belichick’s career — including the playoffs — and break a tie with Bears founder George Halas for the second-most wins by a head coach in NFL history.

Hall of Famer Don Shula is the only coach with more wins (347).

Bears’ hot start

The Bears were set up for success in the red zone after a strong run from running back David Montgomery.

Then, QB Justin Fields capped Chicago’s seven-play, 56-yard drive with a short touchdown run to make it a 10-point game at the end of the first quarter.
