The Chicago Bears scored a big victory over the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 13. Chicago won its fifth straight game Friday, improving to 9-3 and maintaining its lead over the Green Bay Packers in the NFC North. The Bears are now the top seed in the conference.
Chicago’s running game played a massive role in Week 13’s dominant showing. Ben Johnson’s two-headed backfield featuring D’Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai each cracked 100 yards as Chicago rushed for 281 yards against Philadelphia.
However, the team could be shorthanded for its showdown with the Packers on Sunday. Monangai is dealing with an ankle injury and didn’t participate in practice on Wednesday, per The 33rd Team’s Ari Meirov.
Monangai has provided the Bears’ run game a big boost during the team’s winning streak. And Chicago needs all the offensive firepower at its disposal for a challenging matchup against the Packers’ fourth-ranked defense. Fans will be keeping an eye on the rookie rusher’s status as the week progresses.
