3. The Bears defense forces two turnovers, and the Eagles are STILL in position to win late.

It might be two interceptions. It could be a sack-fumble and an interception, but if and when ‘The Birds’ turn the ball over, no one should be surprised.

Philly will shoot themselves in the foot as they’ve done for so long, but here’s the good news. Chicago’s offense isn’t good enough to capitalize on any of that. Sometimes, it’s good to make mistakes and win anyway, and that will be one of the narratives after this one wraps.

The vaunted Bears defense will force two turnovers, but the Eagles will still be in a position to win late.

4. The rushing defense finally falters and David Montgomery goes over 100 yards and reaches the end zone.

David Montgomery was on the Eagles radar during the most recent draft, and in Week 9, Eagles fans will get a front-row seat to see why he was. He’ll rack up over 100 yards in this one. Most of it will come on a single play where he’ll break free, and that will help keep Chicago in a game that they should have gotten blown out in.
