Sanders went 23-of-42 passing for 364 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. He added another 29 yards and a touchdown on three carries.
However, the weather conditions on Soldier Field will not be favorable for Sanders or Bears quarterback Caleb Williams.
Per Chris Emma of 670 The Score, the temperature for the noon E.T. kickoff is expected to be around 10 degrees Fahrenheit with a windchill of -10 degrees.
"AccuWeather forecasts for Sunday's game between the Bears and Browns call for a high of 10 degrees, with wind chills around -10," Emma posted on X. "It's expected to be one of the coldest games in Soldier Field history."
In recent weeks, Bears head coach Ben Johnson has been critical of the passing game, suggesting Chicago had been winning games in October and November because of its rushing attack.
“Everybody has a role to play to get this pass game cleaned up,” Johnson said. “It’s not where it needs to be. We’re winning in spite of our passing game, not because of it. And none of us are pleased with that.”
On Sunday, both the Bears and Browns might be dialing up fewer passing plays due to the windy and frigid conditions in Chicago.
Through the first 13 games, the Browns have rushed for 1,243 yards and nine touchdowns, averaging 3.8 yards per rush. The Bears have rushed for 1,984 yards and 15 touchdowns, averaging 4.9 yards per rush.
