Re: 5 Reasons the New Orleans Saints will beat the Bears
Just because Cutler throws a lot of interceptions, doesn't mean the Saints defense will actually catch them...they got 2 against the Steelers but there were easily 5 or 6 errant balls in that game that they could have gotten their hands on...
The Bears offense are 40.6% in 3rd down efficiency, which as we've seen before, is plenty good enough to beat this Saints defense most of the time....the real turnover question is not Cutler but the Saints offense...if they turn the ball over and give away easy scores (because the defense can't stop anything) it could turn out to be a long night, with the Saints struggling to come from behind in a hole that they've dug by their own doing.
Drew Brees played one of his best games in years, out of his mind against the Steelers, and they still had to score on almost every possession, and they only won by 3 points in the end. With this defense, they basically have to play a PERFECT and mistake-free game against the Bears....a single mistake or error by the Saints offense could be the game changer.
