The Chicago Bears battle the New Orleans Saints on Sunday at Noon (CT), and there should be plenty of Chicago storylines for CBS to work through if the game is as lopsided as the spread would indicate. General manager Ryan Poles giving head coach Matt Eberflus a vote of confidence, the Montez Sweat trade, Justin Fields’ still injured thumb, Tyson Baget making his third start at quarterback, Chicago firing an assistant coach, and the Jaylon Johnson trade drama all come to mind.
The 4-4 Saints are looking to keep pace with the 4-4 Falcons atop the NFC South, while the 2-6 Bears are looking to climb out of the NFC North cellar.
