New Orleans Saints: 3 Players that must shine vs. Bears in Week 7

The New Orleans Saints aim to keep a hot streak going as they face the Bears in Week 7 but need these three players to show up big against Chicago.

Even without Drew Brees, the New Orleans Saints have been faring pretty well. The team has managed to yield only one loss and that was when Brees went down. Since then, almost every player has stepped up and helped the team get to a 5-1 record. It’s truly been amazing to watch the Saints deal with adversity as they have.

In Week 7, the Saints will face a pretty tough opponent in the Chicago Bears. While the offense hasn’t lived up to expectations, the defense has played relatively well. They might not be as dynamic as the Saints defense but aren’t going to let the Saints offense off easy.

Add in how inconsistent Teddy Bridgewater’s play has been, then the game might end up being pretty good for both sides.

With Drew Brees slated to return pretty soon, the Saints need to make sure they get the win over Chicago to give them a little bit more cushion. Either way, the Saints have such a talented roster that winning almost seems like a given now.

However, there are a few guys on the roster who seemingly make a larger impact than others. In particular, there are three guys who need to play well to help ensure a victory for the New Orleans Saints.
