Bears vs Saints Preview
The Bears won three straight heading into last week’s win-and-in game against the Green Bay Packers, and they sputtered, putting up just 16 points in a 35-16 home loss. Chicago snuck into the playoffs courtesy of the Los Angeles Rams, who took out the Bears’ primary Wild Card competition in the Arizona Cardinals.
Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky completed 78.6 percent of his passes for 252 yards, no touchdowns and an interception in last week’s loss to the Packers, and he’ll be facing a Saints defense that is ranked No. 4 overall in the NFL. The Bears had great success running the ball prior to last week’s loss, leaning heavily on David Montgomery, who has 598 yards and eight total touchdowns in his last six games. Considering how well their running game has been working, it would be wise for Chicago to stick with it again here.
“The magnitude is huge. It’s a huge opportunity,” Trubisky said when speaking with the media Wednesday. “When you look across the league and realize that about half of the league is done with their season now it’s a special opportunity for us to be in the playoffs.”
The Saints are 10 points favorites at home in this one — a fact that’s not lost on the Bears. “We got nothing to lose. We know everybody is overlooking us. They have the back half of the season. I think we’ve been just playing with that edge, that chip on our shoulder. We don’t have anything to lose. We should go out there and play free,” Trubisky said.
“They’re a situational football team. They do a great job situationally. We’re gonna have to really dot our I’s and cross our T’s on everything we do and use that experience we’re talking about to probably stay a little more aggressive,” head coach Matt Nagy said about facing the Saints, per Bear Report.
When these two teams last met in Week 8, the Saints won, 26-23 in overtime, but Nick Foles was under center for the Bears then. The far more mobile Trubisky will lead the offense this time, and if he can evade the Saints’ pass rush by using his legs, he can give Chicago a chance. It may be his final game in a Bears uniform, after all, so if he lets it all hang out, this could be a very interesting game.
