Week 8 game preview: Bears-Saints

One loss for a 5-1 team doesn’t typically have the feeling of the sky falling and the season suddenly hanging in the balance.

But then again, most 5-1 teams aren’t the 2020 Bears.

After such a strong start the Bears suddenly face a tough stretch of opponents and are now coming off their worst loss of the Matt Nagy era and it feels like the season is teetering.

It may be just one loss but it’s compounded by the fact that none of this team’s shortcomings look remotely close to being figured out, the offense doesn’t look even slightly improved and the defense looks to be visibly frustrated that they’re having to carry the load.
