The Chicago Bears will battle the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, where Chicago is looking to extend its winning streak to four games.
The Bears are coming off a thrilling 25-24 win over the Washington Commanders, where all three phases contributed to their biggest victory of the season. The offense finally got the run game going with D’Andre Swift, who recorded his second 100-yard rushing game since joining Chicago. The defense continued their dominance forcing turnovers, totaling three takeaways that were instrumental to the win. Special teams leaned on backup kicker Jake Moody to deliver a monster performance connecting on 4-of-5 field goals, including the game-winner.
Meanwhile, the Saints are coming off a 25-19 loss to the New England Patriots, which marked their fifth loss of the season. New Orleans’ secondary struggled to contain quarterback Drake Maye and New England’s passing attack. But the Saints were in that game until a late fumble, so they’ll need to limit mistakes if they hope to upset Chicago.
