Today, there will be a couple NFC teams that were considered to be among the conferences best that will be playing games to turn around disappointing starts.
The Chicago Bears came up big last Sunday night when they defeated divisional rival Green Bay at Lambeau field to keep alive any hope of winning their division.
Now less than a week later, the Bears will again have to rise to the occasion as they once again face a divisional foe, Minnesota.
Another NFC team is in the same dire straights as the Bears as the Philadelphia Eagles will be looking to turn their season around in the Meadowlands against the New York Jets.
As bad as the Eagles have struggled this year, the Jets have been just as bad, and the struggling Jets offense might be just what the doctor ordered for Philadelphia.
Both the Eagles and the Bears are hoping that wins on Sunday will provide the necessary boost to propel them back into elite form.
For Chicago, their game means a bit more because they are playing within their division. Philly, however, cannot afford a loss in a division where the
Cowboys and Redskins have started so strongly.
