Philadelphia Eagles: 5 biggest threats in NFC following Week 4 of 2019 season

2. Bears

Week 4 was the perfect example of just how effective the defense of the Chicago Bears can be when on top of their game after sacking Kirk Cousins six times in the 16-6 win over the Minnesota Vikings.

Dating back to last season, the Bears have established a reputation for having one of the top defenses across the NFL, and this seems like the last unit any team will want to face come playoff time.

After seeing how things played out last January when Philadelphia benefitted from a missed field goal at the end of the game, one can only imagine the kind of motivation Chicago will be playing with when these two teams square off at the beginning of November.

This time around, the Eagles will look to take advantage of playing in front of their own fans, as Lincoln Financial Field should be rocking for two teams that will hopefully be in the playoff conversation still around that time.

Whether Mitch Trubisky will be healthy enough to play, well unfortunately that’s a question the Bears can’t answer at the time after the quarterback was forced to leave Sunday’s game with a shoulder injury.

Even if Philadelphia will be facing Chase Daniel, Chicago’s defense alone will still make this a difficult matchup.
