Quarterback questions have been at the forefront all season for the Falcons and Bears, but this week the answers for both have generally been positive.
Caleb Williams is set to return after missing Chicago's last three games with a hamstring injury suffered in the unsightly 9-3 Week 2 loss to the Vikings. The Bears managed to win the two games after that but got blown out by the Packers last week with Tyson Bagent and Case Keenum struggling to manage the offense.
The Bears will hope for a repeat of what they got from Williams in his lone complete game of the season, when he completed 21 of 29 passes for 269 yards and two TDs without an interception in the opener against the Panthers.
Atlanta, meanwhile, is set to start Michael Penix Jr. for the fourth consecutive game even though he left last week's overtime loss to the Ravens with a rib injury. He had been solid the previous two weeks after replacing Cooper Rush at QB following a 0-2 start.
Will each team's offense finally settle in and produce this week? Here's all you need to know to follow the action if you can't watch.
