It was a complete game for the Saints both offensively and defensively in their 30-13 victory over the Chicago Bears, yet at times Slidell High School and Tulane alum Matt Forte gave the defense fits as the shifty and elusive running back rushed for 74 yards and caught 10 passes for 117 yards.
Here is an article from Jimmy Smith of The Times Picayune on Forte's return trip to the Dome:
On Sunday, this time wearing the colors of the Chicago Bears, Forté, the Slidell High School alum, provided the bulk of the Bears' offense in a 30-13 loss to the Saints, accounting for 166 of Chicago's 246 total yards, sending about 20 family members in attendance home satisfied with Forte's effort but disappointed in the game's outcome.
"It was nice to play in front of my family," Forte said quietly in front of his locker in the Bears' dressing room. "We didn't get the win, but this just gives us motivation to come out and work harder in practice. This was fun. It reminded me of the time we played LSU in the Dome."
