The Saints, 1-5, have lost three of their games by one score or less. They're not as bad as their record indicates, even though they are, in fact, one of the worst teams in the NFL. The Bears, meanwhile, are the beneficiary of one-score games in two of their three games. The last two Chicago wins were by the same score: 25-24.
With the Chicago Bears scratching the surface of what they aspire to become offensively, there’s a mighty long way to go to build a juggernaut like the one Ben Johnson was an integral part of in Detroit.
Swift declared himself good to go against the Saints despite being limited with a groin injury Thursday and Friday. He had 14 carries for 108 yards against the Commanders and caught two balls for 67 yards, including a 55-yard catch-and-run touchdown that ESPN announcer Troy Aikman considered good fortune.
The Bears are the only team to never have a 4,000-yard passer. It has happened 233 times in NFL history. The first player to do it was Joe Namath, who threw for 4,007 yards with the Jets in 1967.
