The Eagles would be wise to get Dallas Goedert going against the Bears on Black Friday.
POSTGAME – The Eagles' offense kept going nowhere, while their defense got left out there for too long to get torn up by D'Andre Swift, Kyle Monangai, and the Chicago Bears' run game.
The Eagles lost, 24-15, on Black Friday and left to a chorus of boos at Lincoln Financial Field.
They're 8-4, but it's two deflating losses in a row now, with the team feeling dangerously close to a 2023-esque spiral.
The immediate coverage from Friday....
• The pivotal plays from a listless Eagles loss to the Bears (Nick Tricome)
• Eagles Week 13 stock watch: Philly's defense forgets to stop the run against Bears (Evan Macy)
And as always, you can run back through the conversation of Friday's name as it happened down below.
PREGAME...
The 8-3 Philadelphia Eagles blew a 21-0 lead against the Dallas Cowboys, and find themselves in need of a win over the 8-3 Chicago Bears to keep their NFC East lead from dwindling further. Kickoff for this special Black Friday game is scheduled for 3:00 p.m. EST.
The Eagles will be without star RT Lane Johnson, who suffered a Lisfranc injury in the Birds' win over the Lions Week 11, as well as starting rookie safety Andrew Mukuba. Otherwise, the Eagles will have all of their offensive and defensive starters available. The Bears are razor thin at linebacker, as they will be without their LB1, their LB2, their LB3, and their LB5. You can find the Eagles' and Bears' inactives here.
As noted in our five things to watch, the Bears have a potent, well-designed offense, with a playmaking quarterback, a much improved offensive line, a nice mix of young receivers, two tight ends who contribute in the passing game, and a speed/power combo at running back. They can score points. However, they also have a banged-up defense that has surrendered a lot of yards and points this season. It's good on good (Bears O vs. Eagles D), and bad on bad (Eagles O vs. Bears D).
The Eagles are 7-point favorites. For the gambling enthusiasts, you can find my Week 13 picks (Part I) here.
For those of you into style, the Eagles will be wearing their black uniforms in this matchup.
