4. Who’s an under-the-radar Eagles player that Bears fans might not know yet, but will make an impression under the lights in prime time?

Again, I’d have to go with Mills. This could wind up being a rough start or a nice surprise, and no one would be shocked either way. Mills is a seventh-rounder who some had graded as a second-round talent.

On offense, I expect more touches for either Wendell Smallwood or Kenjon Barner or both. Both are shifty. Both can turn on the jets. Both are a nice change of pace for starter Ryan Mathews. Coach Pederson says he’ll stick with the running game a little more, but we’ll see.
