Chicago Bears vs New Orleans Saints: How to watch Wildcard weekend live streams online. The Chicago Bears have endured several highs and lows this season but still managed to breach the playoffs with a measly 8-8 record. However, they’ll need all the success they can muster if they want to beat a Saints team that’s firing on all cylinders.

One of the craziest NFL seasons we’ve ever seen is finally coming to a close. Well, it’ll end for whoever loses this Sunday afternoon game. The New Orleans Saints were having one of its best seasons in years when Drew Brees suffered quite the injury. However, backup QB and and old BYU Cougar Taysom Hill filled in quite nicely. Going from a gadget player that did a little of everything for the team, to commanding the offense. Hill had his struggles, but he kept the season on track and the team finished (12-4) on the year.

As for the Bears, they started out red hot winning five of the first six games. However, then they lost six straight, lost Trubisky, and struggled like we’ve seen in years past. Thankfully, the Bears ended winning three of the final four games and got a wildcard spot thanks to the Vikings and Lions both being awful.

Now, Mitch Trubisky and David Montgomery will try to run and throw all over the Saints and keep the season alive. And while the Bears have a well-rounded team on offense and defense, I don’t think they’ll be able to keep up with the electric Saints offense and Alvin Kamara. As a result, the Saints are a 10-point favorite going into the game. Either way, here’s how fans can watch it live from anywhere in the world.

Saints vs. Bears live stream (1/10): How to watch NFL Wild Card round online, TV, time

The New Orleans Saints, the four-time NFC South champs, host the Chicago Bears in an NFL playoff wild-card matchup on Sunday, Jan. 10. The game will be live streamed on fuboTV.

Saints linebacker Demario Davis’ largely productive NFL career also has had its share of disappointing, teachable moments.

Losing seasons with the New York Jets and Cleveland Browns helped Davis cherish recent postseason opportunities with New Orleans. And in the playoffs, Davis has experienced excruciating losses in each of the past three seasons — with the decisive score coming on each game’s final play.

So as the four-time NFC South champion Saints (12-4) embark on yet another playoff run, starting Sunday against the recently resurgent Chicago Bears (8-8) in the Superdome, Davis is imploring teammates to narrow their focus and stay in the present.

For the Saints, the stakes are high because their quarterback is 41-year-old Drew Brees, who has become synonymous with New Orleans during the past 15 seasons. Brees brought the football-obsessed community it’s lone major pro sports championship 11 seasons ago, and became the NFL’s all-time leader in yards passing. Brees will turn 42 on Jan. 15 and hasn’t committed to playing beyond this season, so each game could be his last.

Brees is in his ninth postseason with New Orleans and 11th in his career.

Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky, now in his fourth NFL season, is in the playoffs for just the second time after what was a turbulent 2020 for him.

Trubisky was benched earlier this season and has started just nine games. But the Bears went 6-3 in those games, with three victories in four games to close the regular season and sneak into the playoffs.

The game kicks off at 3:40 p.m. (4:40 p.m. ET) and will be live streamed on fuboTV, which offers a 7-day free trial. CBS and Nickelodeon will televise the game.
Preview

TRIED AND TRUE STRENGTHS: While Brees has been the star of some prolific passing offenses that simply outscored opponents under coach Sean Payton, the veteran quarterback takes comfort in the fact the Saints have thrived this season in the running game and on defense.

The Saints’ 2,265 yards rushing are the most since the Payton era began 2006. The defense ranks fourth and tied for the NFL lead in interceptions with 18.

“The best teams can run the football and play great defense,” Brees said. “Those are kind of the two core things that you look at with any team that has staying power, that has the ability to play anywhere, anytime and overcome anything and sustain.”

THE TAKEAWAY: The Bears will likely need a dynamic performance from a defense that ranked among the top 10 for much of the season if they’re going to knock out the high-powered Saints. The problem is that group isn’t producing momentum-changing plays as much as it would like.

The Bears tied for 25th in the NFL in takeaways with 18 and were middle of the road in sacks with 35, 17th in the league.

Two-time Pro Bowl safety Eddie Jackson had no interceptions for the first time in his career after picking off 10 passes over his first three seasons. Khalil Mack, a three-time All-Pro, had nine sacks — his second straight year in single digits. And Robert Quinn had just two sacks, down from 11 1/2 for Dallas last season.

“It’s just one of those years,” safety Tashaun Gipson said. “Sometimes you might have a year where everything is clicking and every single pass that touches your palms, you catch, and then there’s years like this.”

DYNAMIC TRIO: Brees, receiver Michael Thomas and running back Alvin Kamara could all be back on the field together on Sunday – something circumstances have largely prevented this season. Thomas has missed nine games, largely because of an ankle injury. Brees has missed four games with rib and lung issues. Kamara was out last week because of COVID-19.

They haven’t all played together since Brees was injured in Week 10.

“That’s hard to believe,” Brees said. “I’m excited to have Mike back. Excited for Alvin with what he’s gone through recently, and just for our whole squad.”

While Thomas, the 2019 AP Offensive Player of the Year, has returned to practice, Kamara is not scheduled to return to the team until game day and won’t practice all week.

But Brees insisted that “Alvin’s going to be just fine.”

EYING A-ROB: Bears star receiver Allen Robinson went from matching a career high with 10 receptions in a win over Jacksonville to catching a season-low two passes for 37 yards in the loss to Green Bay last week.

Considering his dominant form for much of the season, the Bears would like to get him more involved — if he’s healthy. The Bears listed Robinson as missing some practice time this week because of a hamstring injury.

Robinson’s 102 receptions this season were a career high. And his 1,250 yards were second only to the 1,400 he had with Jacksonville in his 2015 Pro Bowl season — his second year in the NFL.

“I trust in the plan that they have, that they’re going to put together,” Robinson said. “It’s just my job to execute.

Chicago Bears vs New Orleans Saints: When and where?

This wildcard matchup will be in the Saints Superdome where it’ll be a nice 51-degrees outside. Kickoff is scheduled for 4:40pm ET / 1:40pm PT on CBS. Fans in the UK will have to stay up past 9pm to catch this game.
