Chicago: Matt Nagy is the first Bears coach in more than 60 years with a winning record in his debut season. Paddy Driscoll went 9-2-1 in 1956.

Dallas: Amari Cooper had 280 yards receiving through eight weeks. Since joining the Cowboys, he has averaged 87 yards and need 26 yards for his third 1,000-yard season.

Detroit: Lions are trying to win four straight against Green Bay for the first time since winning seven of eight from 1980 to 1983.

Green Bay: Davante Adams needs two receptions to break Sterling Sharpe’s franchise record of 112. Adams is 134 yards shy of breaking the yardage record.

Philadelphia: Super-sub Nick Foles threw for a franchise-record 471 yards last week to become the first Eagles QB with multiple 400-yard passing games.

Rams: They are trying to win 13 games for the third time in franchise history, joining the 1999 and 2001 St. Louis Rams teams that played in the Super Bowl.

San Francisco: The 49ers need four takeaways from the Rams to avoid setting a record for the fewest in a season (currently 11). The Rams average only 1.3 giveaways.
