Pittsburgh Steelers vs Chicago Bears Live Stream (CBS): Watch NFL Football 2017 Online
The Pittsburgh Steelers and the Chicago Bears face off on Sunday in Week 3 of the NFL 2017 regular season. This could be a tight one, and both sets of fans will be demanding victory today from this one. The game has a scheduled start time of 1 p.m. ET and takes place from Soldier Field in Chicago, Illinois. The game can be watched on TV on the CBS network, or online through live stream (details below).
The Bears have started their season 0-2, and the Soldier Field faithful will be demanding a first win of the season here today. Dropping to 0-3 would see Chicago's chances of making the playoffs this year move to the brink already, so this is getting to as close to a must-win situation you can get seeing as it's just Week 3 of the new season.
The Steelers come into the game on 2-0, and Pittsburgh will be fully expecting to claim a third win of the season here today against their struggling opposition.
Through the all time regular season series between these two teams the Bears have won 17 of the 26 meetings so far, compared to the Steelers' 8 victories (there has been 1 tied game).
The Bears have won the past two games between the teams as well, and their record against the Steelers in Chicago is an impressive 11-1. However, whether they will be able to continue that excellent streak of results remains to be seen.
Earlier this week, Thursday's game between the Los Angeles Rams and the San Francisco 49ers turned out to be the highest scoring game in the history of NFL Thursday Night Football games, with the Rams claiming a 41-39 victory to move to 2-1. The 49ers meanwhile suffered a third straight loss to drop to 0-3, and their season is immediately on the brink.
The highest scoring game for Thursday Night Football prior to the Rams vs 49ers battle was the 2014 meeting between the Chargers and the 49ers. Again in that game the 49ers came out on the losing side, suffering a 38-35 defeat.
Many may have expected the Rams to come out firing on all cylinders, as they had already proven that they have the players to participate in a high-scoring shootout. In Week 1 they scored 46 points. However, the way the 49ers responded and fought all the way was wholly unexpected for most people, but it helped to provide one of the most entertaining games you're likely to see all season.
In the fourth quarter with under nine minutes remaining in the game, the 49ers were 41-26 behind and looked dead and buried. However, then Brian Hoyer led the team to two straight scoring drives.
Hoyer first threw a 3 year touchdown pass to Trent Taylor to make the scores 41-33, but even then most thought the touchdown was more a consolation prize rather than the start if an amazing fight back from the 49ers.
But from the restart, Rams' returner Pharoh Cooper fumbled to hand the ball straight back to the 49ers. Sn inspired San Francisco team then pushed forward for eight plays before a one yard run by Carlos Hyde got them into the end zone to pull the score to 41-39.
The 49errs went for the two point conversation to bring things level, but were unable to pull it off, leaving them two points behind and facing defeat.
But the breathless finale to the game was not over yet. From the restart the 49ers recovered the onside kick and it looked like they might pull off one of the most amazing comebacks. But soon after, Hoyer was sacked by Aaron Donald on a fourth-and 20 play, and the game was over.
However, the ending of the game revealed some fight that many thought the 49ers were lacking, and that could give them hope that it will not be all doom and gloom this season in the end.
