New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas absolutely lit up the Chicago Bears last year, hauling in nine of 10 targets for 131 yards receiving.
The Saints were completely without that production when playing the Bears this year. And while they left Solider Field with a W, you could tell it was a struggle to move the ball consistently through the air all game.
Not including a 47 yard catch and run by Alvin Kamara due to a bust in coverage by Chicago, Brees averaged 5.8 yards per attempt and threw two balls in overtime that should’ve been picks but were dropped — one that easily could’ve been a pick-six by Roquan Smith.
