One team has the best record in the NFL with clear ambitions of holding the Lombardi Trophy at the end of the season. The other team is in contention for the top overall draft pick and has already been eliminated from the playoffs.
It sounds like a snoozer, but there are plenty of storylines within this game that will make Bears vs. Eagles intriguing Sunday. The two teams will square off for the first time since 2019. The Eagles have won five consecutive games against the Bears dating back to 2013. That includes a playoff win in 2018.
Hurts is thriving behind a rock solid offensive line and an impressive rushing attack. The Eagles took big swings at receiver with a first-round pick and via a draft-night trade . Both have paid off. Hurts has thrown for 3,157 yards with 22 touchdowns and 3 interceptions. Eagles defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon was a defensive backs coach with the Colts while Eberflus was the defensive coordinator.
3. Run-heavy attacks The Bears are running away from everybody. Their 189.2 rushing yards per game lead the NFL. But if not for the Bears, the Eagles would be the best rushing team in the league. Philadelphia -- 162.2 rushing yards per game -- is tied with Baltimore for the second-most in the league.
4. Fields' next milestone Fields is 95 rushing yards shy of becoming the third quarterback ever to rush for 1,000 yards in a season. Only Michael Vick and Lamar Jackson have ever done it. Fields is 301 yards shy of Jackson's 2019 QB rushing record of 1,206 yards. At the pace Fields has been running, and with four games remaining, that is entirely attainable.
Needing 95 yards to reach 1,000, Fields could potentially hit that mark Sunday. He has topped 100 rushing yards twice this season.
