The Bears and Cardinals are looking to finish strong as Week 16 ushers in the final weeks of the 2023 NFL season.
The Bears (5-8) will try to bounce back from a disappointing loss to the Browns in which they squandered a 17-7 lead. Chicago still had a chance to win in the final seconds when quarterback Justin Fields threw a Hail Mary. Receiver Darnell Mooney nearly caught the ball while he was lying on his back, but it bounced out of his hands and was picked up by Browns safety D'Anthony Bell.
Fields was 19 of 40 for 166 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions. He also ran for 30 yards on seven carries. Bears left guard Teven Jenkins was carted to the locker room in the second quarter with a concussion.

The Cardinals (3-11) have struggled with injuries throughout much of the season. Arizona was routed by San Francisco last week, and Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray's streak of 96 passes without an interception was snapped in the first half by Charvarius Ward.
Murray completed 26 of 39 passes for 211 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. The Cardinals are 2-3 since he returned to the lineup from a ACL tear in his right knee. The Cardinals did manage to rush for 234 yards against the NFL's No. 1 rush defense.
