The New Orleans Saints traveled to the Windy City to face the Chicago Bears, pulling off the victory in a 26-23 overtime thriller. New Orleans improved to 5-2 and remain in a close race with Tampa Bay for the NFC South.
The Saints were again without Michael Thomas (hamstring) and Emmanuel Sanders (COVID-19) but were also without undrafted rookie Marquez Callaway (ankle) who led all wide receivers in catches and yards in Week 7 against Carolina.
In desperate need of receiving depth, New Orleans called up undrafted rookie Juwan Johnson off of the practice squad.
