While the Chicago Bears got off to a rough start this season, they've rebounded and have started to look more like the team fans were hoping for under first-year head coach Ben Johnson. The vibes in general feel different and more positive, even if there have been some bumps in the road along the way.
Week 7 pits the Bears against the struggling Saints, and it feels like an excellent opportunity for Chicago to move to 4-2 and show they can be for real, not just in the playoff race but in the NFC North title race. Even the emergency quarterback, Case Keenum, is buying into these new-look Bears, trying his best to fire up the Chicago o-line early in the game against the Saints.
