Game Snapshot

KICKOFF: Sunday, 1 p.m. ET
SURFACE: Grass
TV: CBS (Kevin Harlan, Solomon Wilcots)
SERIES: 14th regular-season meeting. Browns lead series 9-4. The Browns will be playing in Soldier Field for the first time since 2001. The Browns and Bears met six times from 1951-69. The Browns won five of those games, two of them by shutouts. Since the Browns' rebirth in 1999, the teams have split two games.

KEYS TO THE GAME: Bears QB Jay Cutler has thrown 10 interceptions, but far too much of the offensive load has been thrust onto his right arm with RB Matt Forte (3.5 yards per carry) struggling behind a poor run-blocking line. Cleveland scores just 10.3 points per game, so Chicago's main objective must be to protect the ball and force the Browns' offense to produce. For Cleveland, it's about keeping the game close and therefore keeping RB Jamal Lewis involved. QB Derek Anderson is struggling mightily, in large part due to a very young receiving corps that lacks a proven playmaker.

FAST FACTS: The Browns have been held without a touchdown in three of four road games. ... Cutler has a 65.4 passer rating with three interceptions in the red zone this season.

Personnel NewsBrowns: TE Steve Heiden (knee) had hoped he'd be able to play against the Bears, but that was diminished Thursday. After being limited Wednesday he did not practice Thursday.

K Phil Dawson was limited in practice with a calf injury that has bothered him for six weeks.Bears: DT Tommie Harris (knee) on Thursday made it back-to-back full practices for the first time this season, and he is expected to be in better shape on game day than he has since the season opener. RB Adrian Peterson (knee) practiced in full Thursday and is expected to be back on the field Sunday. LB Hunter Hillenmeyer is expected to moved from the strong side to the middle, so he can make the defensive calls, changes and get everyone aligned. LB Nick Roach will move from middle linebacker to the strong side. DE Adewale Ogunleye (ankle) was limited at practice but is expected to start Sunday.Inside the CampsBrowns:
The game between the Browns and Bears on Sunday in Soldier Field pits the dynamic kick returner Josh Cribbs of the Browns against the Bears' star returner, Devin Hester.

Cribbs has eight career returns for touchdowns, a franchise record. He has returned one punt for a touchdown and one kick for a touchdown this season, giving him two punt returns and six kick returns for touchdowns in four-plus seasons.
Hester has 11 career touchdown returns
