Philadelphia Eagles at Chicago Bears

One of the tougher road tests for the Philadelphia Eagles in 2022 will be the road matchup against the Chicago Bears.

While the Eagles have won five straight over in Chi-town since 2010, that doesn’t mean 2022 should be a breeze. The Bears have Justin Fields, who will take on the Eagles for the first time in 2022, which should get Philly’s attention.

He is no joke and can hurt a defense if allowed, but this Eagles squad should rattle the young quarterback. Plus, the Dawgs can remind Fields who they are by sacking him a few times. It’s overdue that Jordan Davis and Nakobe Dean put Fields in the dirt, but this game would be an excellent chance for them to do so.

It’s been a while since Philly went to Chicago — the 2019 playoff win, and both franchises have transformed in those short three years.

This game is a must-win for Philly because they don’t need to lose that five-game streak, and their quarterback is better. The Eagles’ offense is better and should succeed against the Bears’ defense.

However, it will be a battle at Soldier Field, and the Eagles need to be ready for a physical one because the Bears will want to snap that losing streak at home to them.
