Should we do Negadelphia or Posidelphia after a janky win in Chicago?

Let’s go Posidelphia, and shout out the best player on the field Sunday – Haason Reddick. He finished with two sacks, a forced fumble, and also recovered a fumble at a key moment in the game when the Bears had entered Eagle territory in a one-score game:

Reddick is now up to 12 sacks on the year, and will surpass his career-best of 12.5 with three games remaining, one of which will not matter and may not even feature the starters. He’s tied for first in the NFL with four forced fumbles and also tied for first with three fumble recoveries, while ranking 11th overall with 29 quarterback pressures. The sack number makes him fifth overall and he’s contributed eight tackles for loss and 19 QB hits while giving up just 72 yards in coverage, so dropping him back (which doesn’t happen often) hasn’t been an issue this year. He’s also been flagged a grand total of zero times, so he’s playing a clean game and not hurting his teammates in the process. Reddick just does not jump offside or grab facemasks or hit QBs late or do any of that aggravating dumbass stuff.

Another slam dunk Howie Roseman signing.
