NFL Week 7: Ranking the best games to watch on Sunday
By Dan Parzych
5. Bears vs. Saints
Instead of the New Orleans Saints struggling after losing Drew Brees back in Week 2, the team enters Week 7 on a four-game winning streak, and would love nothing more than to earn a fifth win with a victory over the Chicago Bears on Sunday.

No one needs to explain the difficulty of playing in Chicago since Soldier Field tends to be tough for most opponents, and if the Saints are going to have any shot at pulling off this one, Teddy Bridgewater will need to be on top of his game once again.
One can only imagine where New Orleans would be without Bridgewater running the offense over the last month, but this meeting in Chicago could be his toughest challenge to date.
Over the last few years, the Bears’ defense has worked their way into becoming one of the top units in the league, but if Chicago is going to have any chance of defeating New Orleans, the offense will be the difference-maker in this one.
Early signs at the moment point to Mitch Trubisky being ready to go in Week 7, and if this turns out to be the case, it will only make this battle even more exciting.
