Chicago Bears rely on rushing attack against Eagles

The Chicago Bears are expected to rely heavily on their rushing attack in their upcoming matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. Head coach Ben Johnson, who designs his own run schemes, has transformed the Bears into a top-tier ground offense, moving from one of the league's worst rushing teams to one of its best during his first season.

Key contributors D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai are central to this strategy. In a previous meeting late last season, the duo combined for 255 rushing yards in a 24-15 Bears victory. The team's success is built on a blend of athleticism, personnel usage, and the frequent use of '13 personnel' groupings, which feature one running back, one wide receiver, and three tight ends.

With starting quarterback Caleb Williams unavailable for Monday's game, the Bears must choose between Case Keenum and Tyson Bagent. Regardless of the quarterback, the ground game remains the primary method to challenge the Eagles' defense.
