The Patriots and Bears will collide in an AFC vs. NFC matchup on Thursday night.
During New England's three-game winning streak, quarterback Drake Maye has looked like the same player who finished second in MVP voting last season, helping the team shake off a rough start.
The quick turnaround will be a challenge for the Pats, though, as the Bears will have a healthy Caleb Williams and rowdy Chicago crowd on their side.
NESN will provide live coverage of the Week 7 matchup between the Patriots and Bears.
