We all love a good revenge game. This week, we will more than likely get one as Jordan Howard was once a part of them. Over the last three seasons, the Eagles’ back was running with the Bears. For whatever reason, he fell out of favor there.

It wasn’t Howard’s attitude or his inability to run the ball. He just wasn’t as ‘flashy’ as Tarik Cohen, it seems. Therefore, the Bears put Howard on the trade block throughout the offseason. Howie Roseman struck a deal to Chicago, sending a conditional sixth-round pick for Howard.

Now, Howard is currently thriving in his role with the Eagles as he has rushed for more yards and touchdowns than the Bears backfield duo combined. That’s quite a slap in the face for the Chicago front office now, isn’t it? Considering that Howard likes to run with an edge, he will more than likely rush with a massive chip on his shoulder this weekend — and the Eagles should be extremely excited about that as it will create some favorable production.
