Aaron Rodgers has a 24-5 record against the Chicago Bears. But will the Steelers starting quarterback get a chance to improve on that mark as he recovers from a wrist injury suffered last week in a win against the Bengals.

Kickoff at Soldier Field is set for 1 p.m. Sunday.

The game will be broadcast on CBS, with Ian Eagle on play-by-play alongside analyst J.J. Watt and sideline reporter Evan Washburn.

The Steelers Audio Network also will broadcast the game on 102.5-FM and 970-AM.

The Steelers are favored by 2.5 points with an over/under of 45.5.
