The NFL announced Saturday that Sunday's game between the Bears and Indianapolis Colts at Soldier Field has been moved from noon to 3:25 p.m. (CT).

The change was made because the Patriots-Chiefs contest that was slated to be the second game of CBS' doubleheader coverage has been postponed and likely will be rescheduled for Monday or Tuesday after players from both teams tested positive for COVID-19: Reportedly, Patriots quarterback Cam Newton and Chiefs practice squad quarterback Jordan Ta'amu.

Before the Bears-Colts game was moved, the only other CBS game in the late afternoon window was the Bills-Raiders contest.
