I’ve never been to Chicago, but I’ll take his word for it:
Alshon Jeffery: “I love the city of Philadelphia. Chicago is just where I was for work.” #Eagles

More from Zack’s article at NJ.Com:
A man of few words, Jeffery doesn’t care much to speak about his past with the Bears.
“It doesn’t matter to me,” Jeffery said. “I play for the Eagles.”
….
The Eagles will need more of that end-of-season production against an elite Bears defense in Jeffery’s return to his old … place of work.
About those stomping grounds …
“The field is terrible,” Jeffery said. “I definitely remember that. But at the same time, it’s football, man … when I was there we always used to tell the equipment manager that you gotta change the field, get the field better.
“I’m not disrespecting them,” he added, “I’m just saying: It’s terrible.”
No disrespect, but your field is shit.
Time’s yours.
