Defensively, the Bears continued their dominant stretch. Chicago forced four sacks, intercepted Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler three times, and recovered a fumble — marking their 16th takeaway of the season, the most in the NFL. Rattler finished with 233 passing yards on 20 of 32 while throwing two touchdowns.
