The Bears initially came into this game with little to no shot at winning. They were disrespected by many, with most viewing this offense as not being a playoff-worthy group. Now it was announced that talented rookie wide receiver Darnell Mooney and star linebacker Roquan Smith will both miss this game.
Chicago has won three of their last four games, and the offense has performed better to end the season. Over their last five games, they have averaged 31.2 points, which is a huge jump up from their season average of 23.2. Mitchell Trubisky has looked much better down the stretch of this season. However, that is because Chicago has been able to establish the run, setting up play action and taking pressure off of Trubisky. The Saints allow the fourth-fewest yards per carry this season (3.9). This adds more pressure onto Trubisky, who is also without a top receiving option.
The Saints enter this game off a dominating 33-7 win over the Panthers last weekend. They accomplished this despite being without receiver Michael Thomas and running backs Alvin Kamara and Latavius Murray. They get all three back on offense this week. Unfortunately, the Saints will be without offensive guard Nick Easton and defensive end Trey Hendrickson. Still, the Saints were viewed as one of the most well-rounded teams in the NFC this season since they have a talented defense to go along with their offense, which cannot be said for most of the NFC.
