For Black Friday I got the best deal ever! The Chicago Bears decided to give me 50% off of my stress!
Look I’m not complaining. I have really enjoyed the Bears five game win streak. After all, it has been so long since the Bears had that long of a win streak that I can’t even remember… and neither can the internet becuase I looked and can’t find one. I love seeing the Bears win while their rookie coach and basically rookie quarterback, learn from their mistakes. But oh my god has it caused me some bear heart attack moments.
That is why Friday was an absolute treat. Not only did the Bears get to play on a day I’ve never seen a game played on (Black Friday), they spent much of the second half completely in control of the game.
That all started in the third quarter. Up just 1 point with about five minutes left in the third quarter, the Bears turned the ball over. The Eagles took over at the Bears 36 yard line and it seemed a sure thing they would take the lead. It seemed even more sure when the Eagles lined up for their signature “rush push” on third and one. The Eagles almost never fail on this nearly unstoppable play… that is until the Bears figured out how to solve it. The Bears dedicated a defensive back, Nashon Wright, to circle around the side of the play to strip Jalen Hurts of the ball as he pushed and got pushed for that one yard. Once the Bears took that ball away, the game was over. They ripped the ball and the Eagles heart out.
The Bears scored touchdowns on their next two drives and took a commanding 15 point lead. The way they did it was relying on their running game and eating clock. This time they tore out the heart of the Eagles’ defense.
Even though the Eagles scored a touchdown and a field goal down the stretch to close it to a 6 point game, it never seemed that close. For once I was not nervous for the last hour I watched the game. It showed how different two 8-3 teams could be. The Bears are on a high. Their fans are elated and can’t believe it’s true. The Eagles fans, who won the Super Bowl last year, are screaming for that Super Bowl winning coach to be fired. It’s actually quite insane if you ask me. Yeah the Eagles are down but their offensive line has been devastated. at least give your guy a year of grace.
But whatever, that’s the Philly fans’ problem. It looks like the Bears finally have an awesome coach. That is something g I have not been able to say my entire life.
What a deal!
