The Bears, with Ben Johnson leading the team in 2025, have made themselves a playoff contender, especially following their four-straight wins. Chicago's offense is coming into form, and its defense is turning a corner.
Meanwhile, the Eagles are one of the toughest teams in the league. While their running game hasn't been great this season, their defense is strong, and their weapons on offense are difficult to defend.
Their matchup, which will take place on Black Friday in Week 13 of the NFL season, will be a very interesting and exciting matchup to watch. And for fans interested in the game, they will be able to stream it for free, essentially no matter where they are around the globe.
