Chicago Bears fans were having so much fun watching their team manhandle the Philadelphia Eagles on Black Friday.

Days after watching the Bears take down the Eagles 24-15, ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky couldn't stop gushing over the offense. Orlovsky specifically focused on the Chicago offensive line and its quality.

"Their offensive line is in the conversation for the best offensive line in football when it comes to the run game. No one has pushed around Philly the way this Chicago Bears offensive line did. They were taking defensive linemen and moving them."

Orlovsky shared several examples of the Bears ' offensive line having their way with the Eagles' defensive line. One example was Jonah Jackson assisting in moving Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter five yards to the side, opening up a massive gain on the ground.

Bears weren't just good, they were dominant

Chicago gashed the Eagles for 281 yards on the ground. Bears rookie seventh-round pick Kyle Monangai led the way with 130 yards and one touchdown, while D'Andre Swift got 125 yards and one score. The pair were the first Bears tandem in the backfield to rush for over 100 yards each in a game since 1985.

The Bears' offensive line has seen yet another shift in performance after the change at left tackle with rookie second-round pick Ozzy Trapilo replacing Theo Benedet after two straight stellar games. Trapilo has not only helped with the rushing offense but also with pass protection.

Chicago's other four starters have stayed stellar all season, with the three new additions, Joe Thuney, Drew Dalman, and Jackson, playing like Pro Bowlers. Even right tackle Darnell Wright is playing the best football of his career in Chicago.

All five linemen in the Eagles game had Pro Football Focus run-blocking grades of 63 or higher, and four were over 70. Most of them have been in the top 20 for overall grade at their positions in the NFL.
