Daily News | Eagles-Bears predictions: Our beat writers make their picks for Week 15
after a four-game layoff, it’s possible the Eagles light the scoreboard again. It’s expected to be cold, so maybe the conditions will keep scoring down. Maybe the Eagles’ special teams, which has a new punter in Brett Kern after Arryn Siposs’ ankle injury, struggle in the Windy City. But a lot would have to happen for any possible mistakes to offset the Eagles’ advantages on offense and defense.
A showdown with the Cowboys and for potentially the NFC East and the No. 1 seed in the postseason looms on Christmas Eve. Could the Eagles look past Chicago? Anything’s possible, although “trap games” rarely exist in the NFL, despite outside narratives. But I doubt Nick Sirianni’s squad will take the Bears lightly. This is a team built for greater competition, but they don’t act like it.Fields leads all NFL quarterbacks with 908 rushing yards.
Gannon’s top assignment will be containing Fields in open spaces. The Eagles will need to prioritize sure tackling, and Gannon might need to regularly deploy a QB spy in order to limit Field’s explosiveness. Claypool and tight end Cole Kmet lead the Bears in receiving, but the Eagles possess the personnel to keep both of them quiet.
Offensively, there are mismatches across the board, and Sirianni would be wise to make quick work of a depleted Bears defense. With Goedert on the mend, the Eagles are seemingly going to become even more explosive over the final month of the regular season. During the past four games that Goedert was sidelined, the Eagles averaged a whopping 35 points per contest, including two games in which they eclipsed 40 points.
