BEARS DOMINATE SAINTS WITH GROUND GAME, CONTROL LINE OF SCRIMMAGE

Nobody's talking about how the Bears' three-headed rushing attack—T.Reed, J.Williams, and T.Phillips combining for three touchdowns on 190 yards—turned this game into a slugfest the Saints' defense simply couldn't match, especially when their own offense managed just 49 rushing yards and 2-of-17 third downs to work with. The Saints came ready to air it out through D.Hill's 264 yards, but once Chicago's defensive line got comfortable up front with J.Richardson and I.Williams combining for four sacks, New Orleans was playing catch-up in a game that was decided at the point of attack.
