The Chicago Bears (3-10) will face the Philadelphia Eagles (12-1) on Sunday, where Chicago is looking to snap their six-game losing streak.
The Bears are coming off a much-needed bye week, which allowed some players like rookies Jaquan Brisker and Kyler Gordon to get healthy. But they’ll face their toughest test this season when they host a red-hot Eagles team that’s contending for a Super Bowl.
