Hello everyone and welcome to Monday Night Football where the Pittsburgh Steelers take a three game win streak in to Heinze Field as they host the Chicago Bears to cap off Week 9 of the NFL season.

The Steelers have shaken off a stagnant start to their season, and it seems like the Steelers are course correcting as we approach the second half of the season. Big Ben came under fire for his early season performances, but has righted the ship, throwing five touchdowns and no interceptions in his last four games.

The Steelers defense has also shown up over the course of the last month. They haven’t allowed a team more than 20 points in their last three games.

The Bears are going the opposite direction of the Steelers. They have lost their last three and they are having trouble finding any consistency with first year quarterback Justin Fields. The rookie QB has just two touchdown passes and five interceptions over the course of the last three games.

The Bears defense is also giving up over 30 points a game over the last three weeks. They will need to show up and help their rookie quarterback if they want to stop he bleeding tonight.

Kickoff from Heinze Field is set for 8:15 p.m. ET.
