The Chicago Bears and Atlanta Falcons will collide on Sunday as both teams look to get their season's back on track with a win. Both teams are on 2-3 and will be hoping to claim a third win of the season to get back to .500.

Today's big game will start at 4.25 p.m. EST and takes place from the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, Georgia. The game will be broadcast on Fox but can also be watched online through live stream - free for subscribers - via the link provided below.

Devin Hester will face his former team for the first tine on Sunday, having previously enjoying eight years with the Chicago Bears.

Both teams are on a slide coming into this match up - both are on 2-3 and both have lost two straight games in the previous two weeks. A third straight loss would be a massive blow to either team and would put them a distance away from where they'd need to be to be in Playoff contention.

On Sept. 18, Hester set the league record with a 62-yard punt return for a touchdown in a 56-14 blowout of the Buccaneers. Speaking after that achievement he addressed his last few years in Chicago, saying, "I wasn't happy the last three, four years in Chicago, because things (weren't) going the way I expect.

"I would always have a great camp, have all the receivers saying and coaches saying I had the best camp out of all the receivers. And once the season start off, I'm not there."
