NFL Week 3, 2018: 5 Teams on upset alert
By Dan Parzych
3. Chicago Bears
Speaking of Mack, the best decision the Chicago Bears could have made before the start of the regular season was to reach out to the Raiders to see what it would take to land Mack since this already seems well worth giving up the first-round picks for. If it wasn’t for that epic collapse opening weekend against the Green Bay Packers, the Bears would be sitting comfortably at 2-0 heading into their Week 3 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, but at least they’re still in great shape.

As mentioned before, the addition of Mack has helped take Chicago’s defense to a whole new level, and when looking at the struggles surrounding Sam Bradford so far, the unit could be in for a field day come Sunday. Then again, just like Derek Carr and the Raiders, Bradford could be entering desperation mode with the Cardinals since Josh Rosen is patiently waiting for the opportunity to step in if needed.
Arizona made the foolish decision to sign Bradford to a ridiculous one-year, $20 million deal in the offseason after Carson Palmer decided to retire, and seeing him fail to record a single touchdown pass has been beyond frustrating. Taking down a stellar defense like Chicago won’ be easy, but Bradford will have the possibility of losing the starting job in the back of his mind.
