Can Cardinals stay undefeated to improve to 8-0 as they face their biggest test of the season against the Packers?

The Arizona Cardinals, as of Thursday, are the best team in the league with a record of 7-0. Third-year starting quarterback Kyler Murray is the frontrunner for MVP this year, while wide receiver Deandre Hopkins continues to show why he is regarded as one of the top receivers in the league. 

The team faces their biggest test of the season though, as they kick off week eight of the 2021 NFL season against the 6-1 Green Bay Packers, who have one of the best quarterback and wide receiver duos of their own in Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams. This Thursday night prime time game should be one of the most exciting to watch this week. 

Chicago Bears coaching staff continue to put Justin Fields in bad situations

The Chicago Bears were blown out by the defending champ Tampa Bay Buccaneers this past Sunday, 38-3, where Justin Fields threw three interceptions, fumbled three times, and was sacked four times. This season Justin Fields has been sacked the most times in the league as the bears have allowed Fields to be sacked 26 times just seven weeks in. 

If the Bears want to see Fields develop and become a better quarterback, they will have to put together a better game plan to work around their terrible O-line, and that has to start  Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers. A lot of questions need to be answered in this game and the ones upcoming to see if adjustments are made, or the same old story will continue for Fields and the Chicago Bears. 

The trade deadline is coming up soon. Will any big names be moved?

The NFL trade deadline is always an exciting time because you never know what to expect or who to be traded. There are already plenty of rumors of players that have a chance to be moved in the coming days. Such as quarterback Deshaun Watson, who has been on the trade market for the Houston Texans for a while now since his allegations have come about. The problem is almost no team wants him, but anything could happen, so I would keep an eye on what the Texans do. 

Also, big-name wide receiver Allen Robinson of the Chicago Bears could be moved as well with his contract expiring at the end of the season and no talks of the two teams seeing eye to eye on a contract extension. Be on the lookout for the Chicago Bears taking calls from multiple teams and listening to offers in place for the receiver.

The NFL trade deadline is at 4 p.m. on Tuesday. It should be interesting to see who ends up where when it is all said and done in the next coming days.
