Following a dominating 38-27 win at the Indianapolis Colts to move into a tie for first place in the NFC South, the New Orleans Saints (4-4) will look to move back above .500 and retain at least a tie for first in the division when they host the Chicago Bears (2-6) on Sunday.
In looking to move back above the .500 mark and improve their standing leading up to a Week 11 bye, New Orleans will face two straight NFC North opponents with Sunday's Bears matchup, followed by the Minnesota Vikings on Nov. 12 at U.S. Bank Stadium. Through extensive work in the meeting room and the practice field, the New Orleans offense has put together three straight contests of 400 or more total net yards for the first time since 2018. With a 511 total net yard output on Sunday against Indianapolis, the highest since a Christmas Day performance in 2020, New Orleans is moving in the right direction in both the net yards per game and points per game league rankings.
The Bears will start rookie quarterback Tyson Bagent for the third straight week in place of Justin Fields who's been out with a dislocated thumb sustained in Week 6 against the Vikings. Bagent had a 97.2 passer rating in his first start, a Week 7 win vs. the Raiders, but had 2 interceptions in the Bears' Week 8 loss to the Chargers (62.0 passer rating). Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus said after the game, "The first game it was good and what was different was the takeaways...I still think he delivered the ball well. He took some shots down the field which we didn't see in the first game, which was exciting to see. We're going to continue to stretch the field vertically and horizontally."
Around The NFC South: The Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-4) will play at the Houston Texans (3-4), the Carolina Panthers (1-6) will host the Colts (3-5) and the Falcons (4-4) will host the Vikings (4-4).

THE LAST MEETING
New Orleans Saints 21, Chicago Bears 9; Jan. 10, 2021 - NFC Wild Card Game @ Mercedes-Benz Superdome - With their 21-9 win over the Chicago Bears the Saints moved on to the divisional round of the 2020 NFL playoffs to host the Buccaneers.
In a game where New Orleans struggled to find a rhythm early offensively, Deonte Harty, just returned from the Reserve/Injured list, proved to be consistent. Harris hauled in seven catches for 83 yards, both career highs. Star wideout Michael Thomas, who also returned to action after missing the previous three games, recorded five grabs for 73 yards including a 38-yard reception to help spark the offense in the second half.
New Orleans held Chicago to 239 total yards of offense. Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky went 19-for-29 with 199 yards passing while running back David Montgomery notched just 31 yards on the ground.
The Saints set franchise records for fewest points allowed and fewest yards allowed in a postseason game. FULL GAME RECAP
