With the NFL playoffs set to begin, the Chicago Bears will host the defending Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles.

As the Chicago Bears get ready to return to the NFL Playoffs for the first time in eight years, the Philadelphia Eagles will present a challenge for this team. While the Eagles have postseason experience, they are merely a shell of what they were in 2017.

Philadelphia’s offense is not as explosive nor is the defense as dangerous. For the Bears, playing in a playoff game is something that many on the roster have not experienced before.

Playoff football in the NFL is a completely different game than what a regular season game in the NFL is.  While most may say that the Bears are too inexperienced right now, Matt Nagy’s team has shown that they can be as tough as nails and have the willpower and confidence to compete with anyone.

Each week, we’ll be previewing the Bears matchup. Additionally, we’ll examine what the Bears must do to win. What are the key players on the opposing team that the Bears will need to stop? Each week, will the offense or defense make a bigger impact?
