The Chicago Bears will battle the Philadelphia Eagles on Black Friday, where Chicago is looking to continue its hot streak and win their ninth game in the last 10 and maintain their place atop the NFC North.
The Bears are coming off a 31-28 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, where the defense came up huge in the second half amid a laundry list of injuries. Chicago was without their top three linebackers, along with their two best cornerbacks, but still managed to emerge victorious. The offense, despite struggles in the run game, capitalized in the red zone behind Caleb Williams’ three touchdowns. After stringing together a league-high five comeback wins this season, the Bears found a way to preserve a win in the fourth quarter.
Now, Chicago will look to once again shock the NFL world with an upset win over the reigning Super Bowl champion Eagles. Can the Bears continue to find ways to win? Here’s how Chicago and Philadelphia stack up statistically ahead of Sunday’s matchup.
