How Bears follow up victory over Eagles could speak volumes about their viability in playoffs

The Chicago Bears' victory over the Philadelphia Eagles has sent shockwaves through the NFL, and their upcoming matchup with the Green Bay Packers is poised to test the team's viability in the playoffs. While the '85 Bears were the benchmark for excellence, this year's squad must demonstrate its mettle against playoff contenders.

In Week 11, the 1985 Bears dominated the Dallas Cowboys, while a few weeks later, they dispatched the Atlanta Falcons with ease. Fast-forward to the present, and the Bears are not as dominant, but their recent win over the Eagles has earned them significant respect. The team's running backs, D'Andre Swift and rookie Kyle Monangai, produced 281 rushing yards against the Eagles, a feat that is rare in the NFL.

The Packers, however, are a different story. Their defense, led by game-wrecking edge rusher Micah Parsons, will be focused on stopping the Bears' ground game. The team's pass defense has been significantly improved this season and could pose problems for the Bears' quarterback, Caleb Williams.

In contrast to the Eagles' challenge, the Packers have been more formidable in their recent performances. Jordan Love, who has started three games against the Bears, is a seasoned veteran who will look to exploit any weaknesses in the Chicago defense. The team's offense has been efficient, with Love boasting a career-best 104.3 passer rating.

As the Bears prepare for this crucial matchup, they must continue to demonstrate their playoff mettle. Beating back-to-back playoff teams in the regular season is a rare feat, but the Packers are an ideal proving ground. The team's last win over the Packers was in 2018, and this match has all the makings of a defining game.

Ultimately, the Bears' victory over the Eagles has set the stage for what could be a pivotal moment in their playoff push. While they have earned respect for their performance, they must now back it up with wins against top-tier opponents like the Packers.
 
I'm thinking that this win over Philly is huge for the Bears... it shows they can compete with some of the best teams out there ๐Ÿค”. But, you know, the Packers are a whole different story ๐Ÿ˜…. Their defense is so tough, especially with Micah Parsons leading the charge ๐Ÿ’ช. I think Caleb Williams will have to bring his A-game if he wants to beat them. The Bears' running backs did amazing last time out, but can they do it again? ๐Ÿ’จ The Packers just seem too strong this year... we'll just have to wait and see how it all plays out ๐ŸŽฅ
 
omg this is gonna be such an epic game!!! ๐Ÿคฉ i'm so hyped for the bears to take on the packers! d'andre swift and kyle monangai are straight fire ๐Ÿ’ฅ and they gotta keep that momentum going if they wanna make a deep playoff run. micah parsons is a beast but caleb williams is no slouch either ๐Ÿ’ช and let's be real, jordan love is always good for an underdog story ๐Ÿค” can't wait to see it all go down!
 
idk about this bears squad tho ๐Ÿค”... they're not looking as dominant as that 85 team but i guess thats what happens when u get older ๐Ÿ˜…. d'andre swift and kyle monangai are straight fire though, 281 yards against the eagles is crazy! ๐Ÿ”ฅ but micah parsons is like a game wrecker on defense ๐Ÿšจ. love how the packers offense has been clicking tho... jordan love is all about that passer rating life ๐Ÿ’ช. this game is gonna be a real test for the bears, hope they can step up their game ๐Ÿ‘Š
 
Ugh, I'm so sick of how the forum is designed ๐Ÿคฏ. The font is all messed up on my mobile and I'm stuck in this tiny text box ๐Ÿ˜ฉ. Can't they just optimize for mobile? It's 2025, people! Anyway, back to the Bears... I think their pass defense is going to struggle against Love and Co. ๐Ÿ‘€ They're not exactly the next Aaron Rodgers, you know? And have you seen those running backs, D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai? They're alright, but they can't carry the team to victory on their own ๐Ÿˆ. The Packers are a tough matchup, no doubt about it, but I think the Bears need to step up their game if they wanna make some noise in the playoffs ๐Ÿ’ช.
 
I think the key to this match is how well the Bears can control the clock and limit Love's opportunities to make big plays downfield ๐Ÿ•ฐ๏ธ๐Ÿˆ. Their running game has been solid, but if they can keep the offense moving without giving up any short passes, I think they've got a good chance of coming out on top ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ‘. Also, Caleb Williams needs to step up and show that he's not just a one-game wonder against the Eagles ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ’ฅ.
 
๐Ÿˆ๐Ÿ’ฅ I'm lovin' the vibes on this Bears team right now ๐Ÿคฉ! Their run game is lookin' straight fire ๐Ÿ”ฅ, and D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai are killin' it on the ground โšก๏ธ. But, gotta give props to Green Bay's Micah Parsons - that dude is a beast ๐Ÿบ! And Jordan Love's been makin' some big plays for the Packers offense ๐Ÿ“ˆ. This one's gonna be a nail-biter, folks ๐Ÿ”ช... Bears' playoff chances are lookin' more promising by the week ๐Ÿ’จ.

Stats-wise, let's take a gander at their recent performances:

- In Week 11, they outgained Dallas 433-272
- Last week vs Eagles, 281 rushing yards - that's CRAZY ๐Ÿคฏ

But, for context:

- Packers' defense has allowed just 196.4 rushing yards per game this season ๐Ÿ”’
- Caleb Williams' passer rating against the Packers is 82.1, a significant drop from his Eagles performance ๐Ÿ’€
 
๐Ÿˆ The Bears' recent win was defo a game-changer, but now they gotta keep that momentum going! ๐Ÿ’ช They're facing some tough tests ahead, especially against the Packers. Their defense is gonna be a major challenge for D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai. And let's not forget Micah Parsons - he's been wreaking havoc on the field. ๐Ÿคฏ But I think Caleb Williams has what it takes to take down Jordan Love. The Bears need to step up their game if they wanna make some noise in the playoffs! ๐Ÿ”ฅ
 
Wow ๐Ÿ’ฅ the key to the Bears' success is gonna be their running game and how well Caleb Williams can connect with his receivers ๐Ÿค, if D'Andre Swift and Monangai keep racking up those yards they got a solid shot at beating the Pack ๐Ÿ˜Ž
 
the bears are looking fierce right now ๐Ÿคฉ, but i'm not sure if they can keep this momentum going against the packers ๐Ÿˆ, micah parsons is a game-changer on defense and their pass rush could give caesar creek a nightmare to deal with ๐Ÿ˜ฌ. d'andre swift and kyle monangai are having some big games though, and if they can keep that running game going, they might just have a shot ๐Ÿ‘
 
๐Ÿค” I think the Bears need to be super solid on defense if they wanna take down the Packers ๐Ÿˆ. If Caleb Williams can't throw past Micah Parsons' aggressive pass rush, things might get ugly ๐Ÿ“‰. The Packers have been killing it lately and are looking like a legit contender for the playoffs ๐Ÿ’ช. Can the Bears keep their momentum going or will this be an uphill battle? ๐Ÿ˜ฌ
 
Stats on Caleb Williams' 282 passing yards vs Eagles ๐Ÿ“Š๐Ÿˆ: 1st time this season he's topped 280 yards in a game ๐Ÿš€. On the flip side, Packers' QB Jordan Love's 104.3 passer rating is a career-high ๐Ÿ”ฅ. The edge rusher Micah Parsons has been ball-hawking with 5 picks already this season ๐Ÿ‘ฎโ€โ™‚๏ธ.

The Bears' D-line vs Monangai and Swift: they need to shut down the ground game if they wanna take down the Packers ๐Ÿšซ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ. The '85 Bears were all about defense, can the current squad follow suit? ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Average points scored by each team in their last 3 games:

Bears: 27.7
Packers: 31.3 ๐Ÿ“Š
The Bears need to step up their offense if they wanna beat the Packers ๐Ÿ’ช
 
omg i'm lowkey hyped 4 the bears vs packers match lol they gotta step up their game if they wanna make a run at those playoffs Caleb Williams has been on fire but Micah Parsons is a beast on defense ๐Ÿคฏ and omg can u even imagine Jordan Love trying to take down that Chicago D?! ๐ŸŽฏ i feel like it's gonna be a real nail-biter though the bears' running game was straight flames last week tho D'Andre Swift & Kyle Monangai are a dynamic duo for sure ๐Ÿ’ช
 
๐Ÿค” this bears team is so underrated, people are already hyping them for playoffs and its only week 11 lol ๐Ÿ™„ but idk man, they gotta bring that heat vs the packers, their defense is gonna be a challenge especially micah parsons ๐Ÿšจ cant let love exploit their O-line ๐Ÿ˜ฌ
 
The data says 85% chance of Bears winning vs Packers ๐Ÿ“Š๐Ÿˆ. Their rushing game is looking solid, 211 yards per game this season ๐Ÿ‘ฃ. However, Packers' pass defense has been on fire ๐Ÿ”ฅ, 15 TDs allowed in last 5 games. Caleb Williams needs to step up his game, 65% completion rate against top-tier opponents ๐Ÿค”. Bears' QB play is a major concern ๐Ÿšจ. D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai are looking good, but can they keep it up? ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿˆ Stats say Packers have a slight edge in this one, 52-48 margin of victory ๐Ÿ“Š๐Ÿ‘€.
 
idk about this one... think the bears just got lucky vs the eagles ๐Ÿค” they beat 'em by like 10 points or something? and now they're facin' the packers? that's not exactly a weak opponent... micah parsons is like a beast on the field ๐Ÿ˜‚ what makes me think they can take him down? the eagles were pretty easy too, don't get it twisted ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ
 
omg I cant believe its going to be that intense match!!! The Bears are def on a roll rn but the Packers are like super tough too!! Micah Parsons is gonna bring the heat and Caleb Williams gotta step up his game ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ”ฅ And yaaas for D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai, they're killing it out there! ๐Ÿ’จ I'm rooting for the Bears to pull off a major upset tho, it'll be an epic win ๐Ÿ˜Ž
 
๐Ÿˆ๐Ÿ’ช I'm lovin' this Bears' run, but let's keep things real, they're still not as scary as those '85 squad ๐Ÿ’ฅ! D'Andre and Kyle are doin' some cool stuff on the ground, but can they take it to the next level? ๐Ÿ”ฅ The Packers are lookin' fierce with Micah Parsons leadin' that defense ๐Ÿคฏ. Love's got game, no doubt about it, but I think Caleb Williams is gonna put up a fight ๐Ÿ’ช! This one's shapin' up to be a real barnburner, can't wait to see how it all goes down ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ‘€
