The Chicago Bears have a chance to enter the bye week on a high note with a win against the New Orleans Saints. But it wouldn’t be just another win if the Bears are able to pull off their third straight upset win.
A victory in New Orleans would be the team’s first in the SuperDome since 1991. Beating the Saints would also give the Bears their third straight win, a feat the team hasn’t reached since winning the first three games of the Marc Trestman era in 2013. And if they’re able to win a third consecutive game, it would be the first time the team was at .500 since the Trestman-led Bears were there in Week 6 in 2014.
There’s a lot on the line this afternoon in New Orleans. Let’s see if the Bears can keep the good times rolling against a first-place Saints team.
