Statistical Breakdown: How the Eagles and Bears stack up for Week 15
The Eagles (12-1) and Bears (3-10) are set for a Sunday matchup that’ll feature two of the NFL’s top young quarterbacks.
Jalen Hurts is in the thick of the MVP race and on pace for over 4,000 yards passing and 800 rushing yards.
Chicago will counter with second-year quarterback Justin Fields, who has 1,896 yards passing with 13 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. As a rusher, Fields is just as talented as Hurts if not better, and has 905 rushing yards and eight touchdowns.
The Bears are coming off a much-needed bye week, and have the NFL’s toughest remaining schedule.
