If the New Orleans Saints are going to defeat the Chicago Bears in Week 8 at Soldier Field, it will be because linebacker Demario Davis and his teammates kept the Bears offense in check long enough for their teammates to go to work against the Chicago defense.
So Davis made sure to set the tone right away in their pregame huddle, delivering his usual Sunday sermon after warmups. The veteran linebacker is a fiery orator, and it’s easy to see why he was voted a team captain his first year in New Orleans. Having signed a multiyear contract extension just before the 2020 season started, he’s also going to be here for the long haul.
Hopefully it all translates into results. The Saints defense hasn’t played up to its usual standards this year, allowing 17 touchdown passes in their first six games. They’ll have to do a much better job pressuring Bears quarterback Nick Foles and guarding the weapons he’ll be working with.
