Windy City Gridiron
The Bears picked up their fifth win in a row on Black Friday, bringing them to nine wins in their last 10 games. They marched into Philadelphia and picked up a key victory over the Eagles, defeating them 24-15 to improve to 9-3 for the 2025 NFL season.
On offense, the Bears were propelled by a dominant run game, which benefitted from the swift decision making from their two running backs (pun intended), as well as road-paving blocking from the offensive line and skill position players up front. The passing attack wasn’t as effective as one likely would’ve hoped, but Ben Johnson played to his team’s strengths amidst the windy winter conditions in Philadelphia. Defensively, rock-solid coverage down the field and consistent tackling — especially from the secondary — held the Eagles’ offense down and prevented them from breaking away for big plays.
As I did all of last year, I will be publishing five scouting reports on the performance of Bears players that fans want to hear about the most. All five of these scouting reports will go up on my Patreon every week as soon as I have finished breaking down the All-22 tape. You can join as a subscriber and receive all of my exclusive Bears and NFL Draft content for as low as $1 a month, or you can buy individual scouting reports for $4 each as you see fit.
Like last year, I will post one of my five scouting reports for free here on Windy City Gridiron for every game the Bears play. This week, I broke down the tape of the following players:
