Chicago Bears vs. New Orleans Saints start time
Date: Sunday, Oct. 19
Where: Soldier Field, Chicago, Illinois
Time: Noon, CDT
The Saints are 1-5 on the season. The Bears will be favored, but they aren't looking at that fact as a sign of a guaranteed win.
Three of the games that the Saints lost were one-score games. First-year head coach Kellen Moore has plenty of weapons at his disposal, like Alvin Kamara, Rashid Shaheed and Chris Olave. Quarterback Spencer Rattler is completing nearly 70 percent of his passes, too.
The Bears have confidence after winning three in a row. They have a belief they can win. That has to carry over into a game the Bears have to win as opposed to a game they want to win.
