The Chicago Bears will try to build on their biggest win of the young season when they host the New York Jets on Sunday at Soldier Field.

Chicago enters Week 4 at 2-1 after Monday night's 27-7 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. New York is 1-2 after falling 31-24 to the Detroit Lions.

Here's everything Bears fans need to know to watch, stream, and listen to Sunday's game.

Bears pregame and postgame coverage

FOX 32 Chicago's Bears Gameday Live begins at 9:30 a.m. CT Sunday.

ESPN Chicago's radio pregame show begins at 9 a.m. CT with Marc "Silvy" Silverman, Dionne Miller and former Bears receiver Tom Waddle.

After the game, Bears Postgame Live will air on Marquee Sports Network and will also be available through the Bears' official website and app.

What to watch against the Jets

The biggest question entering Sunday remains who will start at quarterback for Chicago.

Caleb Williams didn't participate in Wednesday's walkthrough as he continues recovering from his hamstring injury. Ben Johnson has remained silent on whether Case Keenum or Tyson Bagent would start if Williams remains unavailable.

Keenum is coming off an impressive performance against Philadelphia, completing 24 of 34 passes for 247 yards with two passing touchdowns, another rushing score and no turnovers.

The Bears will face a Jets defense that entered the week ranked second in total defense, third against the pass and seventh against the run.

Chicago survived its first game without Williams. Sunday gives them a chance to do it again.
