After their best rushing output of the year, here's how the Saints running game matches up against a stout Bears defense.
The New Orleans Saints are coming off their best offensive performance in the 25-game tenure of head coach Dennis Allen and offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael. New Orleans rolled up 511 total yards in a win over the Colts last year. It was their highest output in 46 games, which included season highs in both rushing and passing yards.
One of the few things that Chicago has done well this season is stop the run. The Bears allow only 78.6 yards per game on the ground, ranking third in the league. Their 3.3 average per rush against is the best in the NFL. They've held their last five opponents to under 100 yards rushing, including less than 60 in each of the last four contests.
Safeties Jaquan Brisker and Duron Harmon are also effective at the line of scrimmage as run stoppers. Brisker, a budding star, is a playmaker all over the field. Longtime playmaker Eddie Jackson has been slowed by injuries this season, but looks like he'll play on Sunday. Corners Jaylon Johnson, Kyle Gordon, and Tyrique Stevenson are physical players in run support.New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara runs for a touchdown against the Indianapolis Colts.
Rookie third-round pick Kendre Miller has also been banged up this season, but has shown explosive potential in limited opportunities. He has 83 yards rushing so far, but he and Williams have both shown that they can be capable backfield threats. This allows the offense to potentially use Kamara more as a receiver without necessarily telegraphing a play.
