The Philadelphia Eagles had a bad day on offense against the Bears on Black Friday, putting up just 15 points in a home loss that dropped them to 8-4 on the season. Philly managed to put up 317 yards of total offense but turned the ball over twice and couldn’t convert on third down, going just 3 for 14 on the afternoon. Most embarrassingly, the Eagles held the ball for only 20 minutes and 42 seconds of game time, about half the time the Bears had possession.
The performance only increased the scrutiny on a struggling Eagles offense. Entering Sunday’s action, Philadelphia ranked 24th in total offense and 19th in scoring offense, down from their lofty heights last season and a far cry from their expectations entering the year.
At 8-4, the Eagles still lead the NFC East, but it hasn’t always been pretty getting there. Their offense sputters at times and goes through cold stretches — entering Sunday’s action, Philadelphia led the league in three and outs. They’ve now lost back-to-back games for the second time this year.
Bears Defenders Take Shots at the Philadelphia Eagles Offense

A number of Bears defenders joined the Speakeasy sports podcast — hosted by former Eagles LeSean McCoy and Emmanuel Acho — from the visiting locker room after the win. Some of these players included All-Pro CB Jaylon Johnson and former Philadelphia S C.J. Gardner-Johnson, who made a strong impact with the Eagles in his short time there.
At one point, McCoy asked Gardner-Johnson if he did some trash talking on the field during the game.
“Nah I got too much respect for them to disrespect the players that I played with,” Gardner-Johnson responded. “But it’s more like, we disrespected them on defense though.”
“Was the [Eagles] offense too easy? Too predictable?” McCoy asked.
Gardner-Johnson didn’t say anything, but he gave a knowing look and an exaggerated wink to the camera, in true Gardner-Johnson fashion. This, of course, sent McCoy and Acho into a frenzy.
In the game, Gardner-Johnson finished with three tackles and a hit on Eagles QB Jalen Hurts on a safety blitz. He’s developed a reputation as one of the league’s premier trash talkers, but his personality can be abrasive at times and he’s bounced around the league a bit as a result.
The Philadelphia Eagles Have Some Soul Searching to Do on Offense
Against the Bears, All-Pro Philadelphia WR A.J. Brown had 10 receptions for 132 yards and two touchdowns. No other Eagles receiver had 50 receiving yards or more, and All-Pro RB Saquon Barkley was held to 56 rushing yards on just 13 carries.
That’s been a consistent problem for the Eagles all season. They have a lot of talent on offense, but can’t seem to get everyone involved in the same game. They’re operating a little bit like an unbalanced basketball team, in that it’s a lot of “your turn, my turn” play right now. It’s not cohesive.
The Eagles can still accomplish all their season goals, including repeating as Super Bowl champions. But to get there, the offense needs to find their rhythm.
