The Chicago Bears won in Week 13 against the Philadelphia Eagles in Philadelphia on Black Friday, securing a 9-3 record and remaining atop the NFC North.

This was a huge game for the Bears, and their offense ran the ball all over the Eagles' normally strong defense. Part of why the Eagles' defense struggled was due to the poor offensive performance, which couldn't stay on the field, wearing out the Eagles' defense.

For Bears defensive back Chauncey Gardner-Johnson, this matchup against his former team was a great one. After the game, Emmanuel Acho and LeSean McCoy of the Speakeasy podcast talked to Johnson, and the new Bears DB trolled his former team over their predictable offense.

Asked whether the Eagles' offense was predictable or not, Johnson didn't say anything in response. But he looked directly at the camera and winked. It's a clear indication that he does think the Eagles' offense was predictable.

The Bears won 24-15 and were able to stifle the Eagles' offense, littered with star power across the roster. AJ Brown, Devonta Smith, Dallas Goedert, Jalen Hurts, and Saquon Barkley couldn't get much of anything going when it mattered most.

Dennis Allen holding this Eagles offense down without most of their linebacker room is an impressive feat. But if Johnson were right, in that the Eagles' offense is predictable, it would be a lot easier to stop such an offense.

Eagles fans have called for offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo to be fired, and Johnson's comment will only embolden the Philadelphia fans in their frustrations with Patullo and head coach Nick Sirianni.

The Bears' defense was impressive on Friday afternoon, as they held what should be a potent Eagles offense to just 15 points. Chicago is now 9-3, sitting atop the NFC North, and with a very high chance of making the playoffs in Ben Johnson's first year.

This performance against the defending Super Bowl champions is a great indicator of what this team can become. Chicago is for real, and Johnson's trolling of his former team's offense is just another example of this Bears team feeling confident in themselves.
