There’s been this strange online alliance between Chicago Bears fans and Philadelphia Eagles fans because the Bears have already knocked off the Eagles’ rivals in the NFL East (the Cowboys, Giants, and Commanders), and Philadelphia beat the Bears’ rivals in the NFL North (the Lions, Vikings, and Packers).
But I never got bought into that alliance b.s.
While the Bears lead the all-time series against the Eagles (30-17-1), they haven’t beaten the Eagles since 2011. Those six in a row for Philly include the Double Doink and the 50 Burger, but if we go back even further, I’m still annoyed by the 2001 playoff game where Philly’s Hugh Douglas took out Chicago’s Jim Miller with a cheap shot.
So screw the Eagles and the bus they rode in on.
