Eagles' Vic Fangio Has High Praise for Bears, Ben Johnson

The Philadelphia Eagles will have one of the more intriguing games of Week 13, as they'll take on the Chicago Bears on Friday at 3:00 p.m. ET. It’ll be intriguing to see what the Eagles do on the offensive side of the football, but they also have to be mindful of what the Bears have done offensively throughout the season.

As crazy as it might sound, and I understand that Caleb Williams and Ben Johnson are really doing a lot of good things during their short time in Chicago together, I still don't see an avenue where this defense is going to get beaten up too much.

If anything, it will probably be the offense’s fault if Philadelphia doesn't win this game.

When speaking to reporters about what he's looking for offensively from the Bears, however, defensive coordinator Vic Fangio had some positive things to say about what Chicago has done on that side of the football.

"It's a great scheme. They do a great job calling the game, mixing it up, marrying their run game and their pass game," Fangio said, per the team. "They're highly ranked in a lot of areas, and I don't think it's any accident. They've got really good players and it's a great scheme and a great play caller.

"Ben does a good job of mixing it up. They package things well together. They play multiple personnel groups, and they're under center a good bit, probably more than most teams in this league. Kudos to him and his staff for bringing that young quarterback (Williams) along who I don't think ever played under center in college. He's doing a great job, and they have fought through any of the pitfalls of that and now they've got a quarterback that is executing their offense the way they want to."

Johnson is going to have his trick plays ready, and they're also going to just run great sets.

If there's one thing that's been evident throughout his short time in Chicago, it's that he's changed the offense.

Hopefully, that doesn't impact the Eagles too much, as we have to question whether this team can do enough offensively to keep up with some high-powered offenses at times.
