Eagles snap count vs. Bears: Breakdown, observations
The Eagles are 13-1 and headed to Dallas after a 25-20 win over the Chicago Bears at freezing-cold, Soldier Field.
Quarterback Jalen Hurts threw for 315 yards and rushed for three touchdowns to lead Philadelphia, and the Eagles can clinch the NFC East and the NFC No. 1 overall seed with a victory over the Cowboys at AT& T Stadium on Christmas Eve.
Jonathan Gannon’s defense survived Justin Fields, while also harassing the record-setting quarterback to the tune of six sacks on the day and many more pressures.
