We’re in for the latest chapter in a heated NFC rivalry on Sunday, with the Chicago Bears (2-6) visiting the New Orleans Saints (4-4) and looking to make some noise following a busy workday at the NFL trade deadline. But which team has the lead in the all-time series history?
That would be the Saints, who have achieved an 18-15 record once morest the Bears since their first meeting back in 1968. New Orleans is currently riding a seven-game winning stream once morest Chicago including an overtime victory and subsequent playoff win during the 2020 season. The Bears have not won a game in New Orleans since Oct. 27, 1991 (their last win in Louisiana happened in Baton Rouge during the Hurricane Katrina-impacted 2005 season).
So it’s shaping up to be a tall task for Bears backup Tyson Bagent, who will start at quarterback while Justin Fields continues to recover from an injured throwing hand. Bagent has gone 1-1 as Chicago’s starter while throwing three interceptions and fumbling twice, though he’s logged a pair of touchdown runs and thrown a touchdown pass. Still, the Saints defense can’t afford to take him lightly.
