Heading into the Super Wild Card Weekend game against the Chicago Bears, the New Orleans Saints have about a handful of things that they need to get together.

The Saints ended their 2019 regular season with a 13-3 record.

They ended as the No. 3 seed in the playoffs which was the first team not to get a first-round playoff bye week. They ended up losing in overtime to the Minnesota Vikings during the Wild Card game.

There are a lot of similarities between the two seasons. This year, the Saints ended with a 12-4 record. They ended as the No. 2 seed which, because of the rule change in the NFL, is now the first team not to get a first-round playoff bye.

To not have the same thing happen to them, the Saints are going to have to fix things in a couple of areas. These are not massive personnel changes, but they are going to have to dig in and get to work if their hope is to win a Super Bowl.

The Saints are one of the most underrated teams in the playoffs right now even though they are sitting at the No. 2 seed in the NFC. You would think they are all perfect and ready to go, but even this team still has quirks to figure out before playoff time.

Here are the top three fixes that need to happen against the Bears.
