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.

How to stream Chicago Bears vs New Orleans Saints live in Canada
Each week the streaming service DAZN shows several NFL games in Canada. DAZN owns the exclusive rights to air all regular season National Football League games in the region. However, now that the season is over and it's the playoffs, we typically can't access NFL with DAZN.
Instead, check out TSN Sports which will be airing playoff games.
How to stream Chicago Bears vs New Orleans Saints live in Australia
It's the last game of the season for the losing team, so fans will definitely want to tune in. Australian fans have limited options as the year winds down. For now, the ESPN network owns rights to air NFL games but they only show certain ones each week, so that's about your only option unless you use a VPN. You can access ESPN in Australia with Kayo Sports or most Foxtel TV packages offer ESPN too.
If you want to watch other sports, this over-the-top service will also let you stream Spain's La Liga and F1 racing, all for only $25 per month for a basic package or $35 a month for a premium pass. And finally, Kayo Sports is contract-free and offers a 14-day FREE TRIAL so you can try it before you buy it.
Whether you're a fan of either team or are a Packers fan like me waiting to see what happens, tune in and enjoy the game.
