After seeing the results of last January when these two teams met, one can only imagine how much the Chicago Bears would love to defeat the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.

Defeating the Eagles in front of their own fans certainly won’t change the results of last January when Philadelphia advanced to the Divisional Round of the playoffs, but at least it would help get the Bears their first win in four games.
Entering the month of October, Chicago looked like one of the top teams in the NFC before going on to lose three in a row before their meeting with Philadelphia.
Of course, if the Bears are going to have any shot at pulling off the win in this one, Mitch Trubisky will need to figure out a way to elevate his game to new levels, or the defense of the Eagles will make him pay for it in a big way.
Last weekend, Philadelphia pulled off one of the biggest surprises by knocking off the Buffalo Bills on the road, making it seem like defeating the Bears should be easy.
But since anything is possible when it comes to the NFL, this could turn out to be quite an entertaining NFC battle.
