While this schedule certainly looks easy right now, there are a few things to point out: (1) the Cardinals should be a little better with Kyler Murray expected to return this weekend; (2) based off his comments after MNF in Week 9, Aaron Rodgers could be under center for the Jets when they take on the Falcons in Week 13; and (3) there s a good chance Justin Fields is playing for his job in Week 17, so that might be a bit of a scrappy Bears team.
