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

2. A.J. Klein

Moving to the defense, it gets tougher and tougher to pick a defensive player who is going to make an impact. Each week, there’s a rotating carousel of guys who have great performances and last week was no expectation. Of course, Demario Davis put up good numbers along with Cameron Jordan and Marshon Lattimore. However, last week, another player came out of the woodwork and that was A.J. Klein.

Klein doesn’t normally get the glory, but after last week, he proved that he deserves to be featured among some of the best. Against the Jaguars, Klein finished the game with six combined tackles, tying him with the most in the game with Demario Davis. Klein is on par to have the best season of his career if he puts up big numbers, so it’s no surprise that he’s the player that must shine against the Bears.

The Bears offense hasn’t lived up to expectations and the Saints defense is going to make sure that they don’t, either. For Klein, he has the chance to finish the game with double-digit tackles and possibly an interception.

Considering that his last interception came via Dak Prescott, picking off Mitch Trubisky could happen. Taking in his performance from last week, Klein will shine against the Bears.
