- Shedeur Sanders Receives Unfortunate News Before Bears Game
The Cleveland Browns have a 3-10 record and go into Week 15 with a tough matchup against the 9-4 Chicago Bears on the road.
The weather for the game could drop to below zero degrees, and the Bears have even released some updates for fans attending the game.

The Browns are starting rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders for the fourth straight week, and he was named the starter for the rest of the season after the game against the Tennessee Titans in Week 14.
The Browns lost to the Titans, 31-29, in crushing fashion, but Sanders threw for 364 yards with three touchdowns and just one interception while rushing for another score.

The weather could be an issue for Sanders and the Browns, and the Bears had won five straight games before losing to the Green Bay Packers in Week 14, so things are not promising for Cleveland.

To make matters worse, the Browns got some tough news regarding the offensive line, as four starters have been ruled out.
"Browns will be without 4 of their 5 starting OL from Week 1 on Sunday. Joel Bitonio , the fifth, is listed as questionable," Andrew Siciliano wrote on X.
Guard Teven Jenkins was not listed on Wednesday's report, but he popped up as limited on Thursday with a shoulder issue, raising concerns on that front.
In total, the Browns listed nine players as DNP on Thursday.

Starting center Ethan Pocic just suffered a season-ending Achilles injury , so it's a tough situation all around for the Cleveland offense.
The Browns and Bears kick off at 1:00 pm ET on Sunday with the game broadcast on Fox.
