Two of the top three picks in the 2024 NFL Draft are set to battle for the first time on Sunday.
Drake Maye will lead the New England Patriots into the Windy City for a date with Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears in Week 10, with both teams looking to turn things around.
The Patriots are fresh off an overtime loss in Nashville against the Titans, where Maye had heroics on the final play of regulation and then threw an interception in the extra period. At 2-7, the Patriots are firmly in the race for the No. 1 pick -- a selection that could be valuable as they look to build up the team around a player who looks to be a potential franchise quarterback.

On the other side, the Bears have lost two straight in disappointing fashion. After three straight wins averaging 31.7 points per game, Chicago has averaged just 12 points over the last two weeks. Williams is going through the typical rookie growing pains, but he has at least taken care of the ball with just one interception in the last five games.
Here's a preview for the Week 10 matchup between the Patriots and Bears:
