The Bears felt every last ounce of satisfaction from Friday's convincing upset of the defending champion Eagles. Now what?
Jalen Hurts led the Philadelphia Eagles matchup into a Black Friday game against the Chicago Bears. The Eagles are looking to defend their Super Bowl, but the offense has been extremely streaky, hurting Philadelphia's chances at making noise in the postseason.
Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson spoke out with a subtle warning to the Green Bay Packers after beating the Eagles.
The Bears have been rolling this season in Johnson's first season, where they've won nine games in the last 10 after an 0-2 start.
