Tonight's Bears vs. Rams live stream puts two teams that are transitioning back to the football field in L.A., each trying to take the right first step in a new era. The Bears take over for Mitchell Trubisky and turn to Andy Dalton to at least groom Justin Fields, while this NFL live stream will serve a much different purpose for the Rams' new quarterback.

After 12 seasons in Detroit, Matthew Stafford was traded to the Rams in the offseason in a deal that sent Jared Goff to the Lions. Both Stafford and head coach Sean McVay are very happy to be working together, and in an ESPN feature article, both admit to being giddy at the opportunity to put their offensive minds together.

McVay is only 35 years old, but has already been named Coach of the Year, coached in a Super Bowl, and made the playoffs three times in four seasons leading the Rams. He sees Stafford as a player who can take his Robert Woods-led offense to new heights.

Perhaps Stafford could not ask for a better gift in his first start with the Rams. His record against them is 11-9.

Inactives include:

Bears Eddie Goldman (NT), Duke Shelley (CB), Joel Iyegbuniwe (ILB), Jesper Horsted (TE), Nick Foles (QB), Breshad Perriman (WR), Lachavious Simmons (OL)

Rams: Ben Skowronek (WR), Bobby Brown (DT), Juju Hughes (S), J. Reed (S), Alaric Jackson (OT), Bryce Perkins (QB)

But the Bears had Khalil Mack will patrol the line of scrimmage and Andy Dalton will try to take him down a notch by trying to utilize weapons that past Chicago QBs like Allen Robinson and Darnell Mooney could not.

The Rams are 7.5-point favorites against the Bears. The over/under is 46.5. The 2021 NFL season will be the league's first 17-game regular season schedule.
