Eagles vs. Bears: Black Friday Blitz – Your Guide to Gobbling Up the Action
PHILADELPHIA – Turkey coma? Not on game day. The Philadelphia Eagles (8-3) host the surging Chicago Bears (8-3) in a Black Friday NFL showdown at Lincoln Financial Field that’s got NFC playoff implications dripping like leftover gravy. Jalen Hurts and the Birds are licking wounds from a Thanksgiving heartbreaker against Dallas, but their high-octane offense—led by A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith—racked up 400+ yards last time out. Over in the Windy City, Caleb Williams is slinging dimes for the Bears, who boast the league’s top-ranked defense (allowing just 18.2 points per game) and a ground attack that’s chewed up 150+ yards in four straight. This isn’t your standard post-feast nap; it’s a potential heavyweight slugfest between two squads jockeying for division supremacy.
Strap in for kickoff on Friday, November 28, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. ET—prime time for pie and pigskin. Philly faithful, bundle up: Expect brisk temps in the mid-30s with howling winds gusting to 50+ mph under mostly clear skies. Those heated benches will be working overtime, and quarterbacks might need ice packs for their throwing arms.
