Not a grudge match: The Eagles handed the Bears a crushing loss in last season’s NFC playoffs. But with Matt Nagy’s team limping into Philadelphia with a three-game losing streak, there hasn’t been much talk this week about avenging that defeat, “It hasn’t really been talked about by anybody,”...

“How amazing is that; that people that stick together, people that get tighter through adversity, people that never quit, people that say, ‘so what, now what,’ but then they do it,” Nagy said. “How do you not show that to your guys and let them pull from that? That’s a really cool moment for...
