It hasn’t been pretty, but the Bears are up 20-7 on the Saints at halftime Sunday at Soldier Field.

Both teams have been sloppy, but the Saints are one of the worst teams in the NFL and it’s shown. The Bears turned both of their takeaways — a strip-sack by defensive end Montez Sweat on quarterback Spencer Rattler and cornerback Nahshon Wright’s interception — into points.

In addition to the two turnovers, Saints are 1-for-6 on third downs and have 104 yards of offense at the half. Rattler has completed 9 of 17 passes for 144 yards with an interception for 66.
