The Eagles-Bears Alliance is now complete and will be officially shattered on Black Friday in South Philly

If you watched the Eagles beat the Lions on Sunday and thought it was just another primetime win, you missed the real plot. This wasn’t just Philadelphia handling business in the NFC, but rather the last chapter of something much bigger.

Yes, I am back talking about the unofficial, extremely-online, strangely effective alliance between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Chicago Bears. Whether anyone wants to admit it or not, the two franchises have spent the season doing each other favors.

The Philadelphia Eagles and Chicago Bears have formed an unstoppable alliance >>

The Eagles have taken apart the NFC North. The Bears have been busy wrecking the NFC East. Now both teams sit on top of their divisions with a long list of shared enemies behind them.

Bears (7-3) atop NFC North. Eagles (8-2) atop NFC East.

People can pretend this is coincidence, but at some point it’s hard to ignore that both teams ended up executing the exact goals that benefited the other. Philadelphia neutralized the Packers, buried the Vikings, and just sent the Lions into whatever dimension teams go to when they aren’t ready for real football.

Chicago, on the other hand, tore through the Giants, sent the Commanders into another rebuild, and delivered a perfectly timed humiliation to the Cowboys that the entire NFC enjoyed.

If it wasn’t coordinated, it sure looked like it.

Bears beat Cowboys, Commanders, Giants

Then Comes Black Friday

The alliance was never built to last. These things never do. Rome and Egypt fell apart. Wawa and the decisions you make at 2 a.m. don’t always end well either. Now, the Bears and Eagles will finally meet on Black Friday at Lincoln Financial Field.

It’s the moment everything breaks.

Two teams who spent the season eliminating each other’s enemies will now stand in the same stadium, with playoff paths directly in the way of one another, surrounded by fans who have not slept since Thanksgiving and are armed with whatever emotions survive a South Philly parking lot.

Someone will say the wrong thing and the alliance will go up in smoke. It’s inevitable but the fact that there was an alliance is the important part to remember.

When the Bears step into South Philly on Black Friday, it’s over.

• No more alliance.
• No more coordination.
• No more shared mission.

The Eagles aren’t interested in being diplomatic. They’re interested in owning the conference. If the Bears get in the way, then the Bears get the same treatment as everyone else. The alliance was real. It was useful. It was entertaining. And now it ends.

What Comes Next

For the Eagles, the plan is the same as always by winning football games by any means necessary. Pretty doesn’t matter. Until someone proves they can knock them out, the NFC Championship Game will run through South Philadelphia.

For the Bears, the national conversation won’t change. People will call them frauds. People will insist they don’t belong and then everyone will act shocked when they ruin somebody’s season in January. That’s the path.

Could this matchup be a preview of a future NFC title game? Yes. Absolutely. The way both teams are trending, it’s not unrealistic but the internet might melt before we get there.
