Who will win the Bears/Eagles game today?

[Morbius]

6. Okay.

The Bears ran the ball with authority, which is good, especially since Caleb Williams had his worst game of the season. The offensive line was terrific when they ran the ball, and terrible when they attempted to throw. I don't know if the Bears defense made the Eagles offense look bad, or the Eagles offense made the Bears defense look good. I do know this: this was the biggest test of the season for my beloved Bears, and they passed.

Not with flying colors. There are still question marks. Any objective viewer has to wonder if they can beat the Packers, solid on offense and incredible on defense. But they did pass the test. They won the game and right now they look like a better team than the defending Super Bowl champions. Last year at this time they had just fired their coach in awkward fashion. What a difference a year makes.

I confess that I was giddy today. It's nice to feel that way about your team.
