Week 12: Chicago Bears

I don’t know why, but something tells me Alshon Jeffery will be looking forward to this matchup.

Jeffery spent the first five years of his career in Chicago. Now he’s an Eagle and I’m sure he’ll want to prove to his old team that they shouldn’t have let him walk away so easily.

After signing on with the Eagles, Jeffery wrote a heartfelt article on The Players’ Tribune showing his gratitude to the team that drafted him in the second round of the 2012 NFL Draft. However, he made it totally clear that he means business in Philadelphia.

"I’m excited for my new opportunity. I’m going to bring the same mindset to Philly that I brought to Chicago when I got drafted in 2012. I’m going to work hard and I’m going to do whatever I can to help bring a championship to the city of Philadelphia."
