NEW ORLEANS — The Bears got off to a 7-0 lead on the Saints when quarterback Tyson Bagent took them 75 yards for a touchdown on their opening possession.
Bagent capped the drive with an 18-yard pass to tight end Cole Kmet, who made an impressive catch in the end zone over Saints safety Tyrann Mathieu.
Bagent completed 3 of 4 passes for 47 yards on the first drive, and converted a fourth-and-one at the Saints’ 37-yard line on a five-yard scramble.
