CHICAGO — The Arizona Cardinals are the top dogs, or birds, in the NFL with the best record (9-2) in the league. 

After coming off a bye week, the Cardinals are looking to keep their spot at the top during their matchup with the Chicago Bears (4-7) Sunday. 

Cards' quarterback Kyler Murray is expected to start against the Bears although he was listed as questionable due to a lingering ankle injury that caused him to miss three games, according to ESPN.

Wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins was also listed as questionable for Sunday's game. Hopkins has been dealing with a hamstring injury that caused him to miss several weeks. He's likely to play but could be used more sparingly, ESPN reported. 

Here's a breakdown of everything you need to know about Sunday's game.
