Bears center Drew Dalman took full responsibility when discussing issues with handling the snap against the Saints.

Coach Ben Johnson seemed to support his new left tackle but said he needs to see improvement going forward after a rough game with New Orleans.

While there still are concerns about the defense overall, the Bears had four takeaways: Montez Sweat’s strip-sack and interceptions by Kevin Byard, Tremaine Edmunds and Nahshon Wright.

The Chicago Bears took down the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. These are the five plays that stood out in their Week 7 win.

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.

While all wins are worth celebrating, this didn’t change the overall assessment. Quarterback Caleb Williams called it “insane” for the Bears to be 4-2 given how much growth has yet to happen, and Johnson continued his approach of cherishing the victory but still being "a truth-teller.

Against New Orleans, Williams completed 15-of-26 passes for 172 yards and one interception, not recording any touchdown passes, and was sacked one time. Giving his evaluation of the quarterback play, Johnson said it's hard to just go off numbers, but the efficiency was not there.

Allen was fired by the Saints on Nov. 4, 2024 following the ninth game of his third season leading the team. He relished the opportunity to face his former team as his defense forced four turnovers while holding the Saints to just 16 first downs, 253 total yards and 3 of 10 on third down.
