The Eagles may have had a good Thanksgiving, but Black Friday was quite different.
Philadelphia dropped their second consecutive game in as many weeks, with their fourth loss of the season, with an abysmal showing against the Bears, losing 24-15. The Eagles' Black Friday matchup featured many common themes for Philadelphia.
Underwhelming offense, inept play calling by offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo, injuries, and Quinyon Mitchell putting together another dominating performance. With the Eagles' secondary continuing to be riddled by injuries, Mitchell remains a consistent figure for Philadelphia, which seems to be lacking direction heading into its "mini-bye".
Eagles got a stellar game from Mitchell
Mitchell continued his All-Pro 2025 with another elite performance against Chicago. He was targeted seven times, allowing three receptions for 14 yards. His longest completion was six yards when going up against Chicago's best receivers. He recorded two tackles, along with a pass break-up, during the Eagles' Week 13 matchup as well.
Mitchell put together another solid performance via advanced metrics, grading out with a 79.9 PFF mark, the fourth-highest grade among Bears and Eagles defenders. His 87 snaps tied with Reed Blankenship, Cooper DeJean, and Zack Baun for the most on the Eagles defense.
Mitchell's consistent performance, mainly while Philadelphia works through its offensive woes and defensive injuries, seems to be one of the few bright spots on the team right now. Mitchell's superior play has given the Eagles some confidence in identifying who is the best option across from him, leaning on Jakorian Bennett, Kelee Ringo, DeJean, and Adoree' Jackson.

Mitchell has performed at this high level while being one of the NFL's most targeted cornerbacks. He's held opposing quarterbacks to under 45% completion percentage, while only allowing one touchdown so far this season. His next challenge will be against the playoff-hungry Los Angeles Chargers, where he'll be tasked with limiting Ladd McConkey, Keenan Allen, and Quentin Johnston.
