Bears to battle Rams on Monday Night Football at Soldier Field
Chicago hosts Los Angeles in a 1-2 NFL clash before a national TV audience and 64 000 fans. Rams quarterback Pat Haden may miss action with a rib cage injury, with Jeff Rutledge ready to start if needed, while Dan Pastorini joins the roster though unlikely to play. Bears coach Neill Armstrong downplays Pastorini as a threat. Rutledge previously played for the Rams in 1978 and helped in pivotal drives during that era.
