The Chicago Bears are facing a tough Week 14 opponent in the Philadelphia Eagles.
While the Bears are already out of playoff contention, the Eagles are fighting to stay ahead in a heated NFC East.
However, this game will have some action that neither side might expect.
With one team playing for pride, and the other for playoff seeding, what are two bold predictions for this game?
1. Justin Fields Scores 1 Rushing TD And 1 Passing TD
While many are sleeping on quarterback Justin Fields, he’s showing up in 2022 as an improved quarterback.
Before missing a game against the New York Jets, Fields had five consecutive games with both a rushing and passing touchdown.
The streak ties one set by Kyler Murray.

While the streak stopped at five, he can restart it with his game against the Eagles.
It might seem impossible, as the Eagles have a stout defense, but the young quarterback can pull it off.
2. Jalen Hurts Passes For 400 Yards Against Battered Bears Secondary
While 2022 is a career year for quarterback Jalen Hurts, his game against the Bears will see him make history.
With the Bears secondary in shambles, we can see Hurts pass for 400 yards.
He already has two games this season with 300+ passing yards.
However, passing for 400 yards will break his career high of 387 yards he set in 2021 against the Kansas City Chiefs.
With him passing for 380 yards last Sunday against the Tennessee Titans, he can easily hit 400 against the Bears.
It will be one more notch in his belt, as he’s having an MVP-like season in 2022.
