What channel is Bears vs. Rams on today? Schedule, time for ‘Sunday Night Football’ in Week 1

The Matthew Stafford era in Los Angeles begins tonight.

Stafford, acquired in a deal for former quarterback Jared Goff this past offseason, is coming off his eighth season with at least 4,000 passing yards, yet found himself mired in another losing season with the Lions as Detroit fell to 5-11. Now surrounded with a stronger cast with the Rams, he’ll look to kick his season off right with a win against the Bears on Sunday.

The Bears will also be starting their recent offseason acquisition, though it will come much to the chagrin of Chicago fans . Andy Dalton will make the start for the Bears instead of rookie QB Justin Fields.

Between the two quarterbacks, there is a — rather unfortunate — bit of notoriety that will come with a loss tonight. Among NFL quarterbacks with at least 20 starts in prime time, Dalton (.261) and Stafford (.300) have the two lowest winning percentages in prime time games, according to StatHead. The winner of the game will grab their seventh win — Dalton would be 7-17 with a win; Stafford would be 7-14 — and place the other in last place.
