On Sunday, Nov. 27, the Chicago Bears PR team tweeted less than an hour before kickoff against the New York Jets that backup quarterback Nathan Peterman was set to start due to Trevor Siemian getting injured in warmups, with regular starter Justin Fields already sidelined.
Bettors salivated at the thought of not just leftover turkey but a Peterman turnover fest, with some quickly wagering on the favored Jets to cover the 7.5-point spread.'
QB Nathan Peterman will get the start today. Trevor Siemian (oblique) will serve as the backup.
