The Atlanta Falcons are set to play the Chicago Bears in Week 6 on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET, with key players expected to have significant roles, according to 1049 Fox Sports Upstate.

Running back Bijan Robinson leads the Falcons with 580 rushing yards on 102 carries, averaging 116 yards per game, and has scored four rushing touchdowns this season. However, the Bears have been strong against the run, allowing the ninth-fewest rushing yards in the league at 96 per game.

Tight end Kyle Pitts has had a solid season with 10 receptions on 15 targets for 109 yards and one touchdown. The Bears have allowed 215.4 passing yards per game, ranking 12th in the NFL, which could provide opportunities for Pitts.

Wide receiver Jahan Walte' Dotson has also contributed with eight catches for 149 yards and one touchdown on 18 targets, averaging nearly 30 yards per catch. His performance will be important against the Bears' defense in the upcoming game.

The matchup is anticipated to be competitive, with the Falcons relying on their offensive weapons to challenge the Bears' defense this Sunday.

Fans in Atlanta and surrounding areas are watching closely as the Falcons aim to build momentum in the 2026 season.
