Westbrook could have re-Peterson performance

This is a critical matchup between two teams that were supposed to be two of the better teams in the NFC, but haven't lived up to the hype. Both teams need to win in order to keep pace within their divisions.

Bears QB Brian Griese will be spending a lot of time in the film room this week preparing for the Eagles' pressure schemes because Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Johnson places a lot of emphasis on attacking the QB and forcing turnovers. However, the Bears must find a way to get RB Cedric Benson going this week against an Eagles run defense that is allowing 91.2 yards a game to take pressure off Griese. It will also be interesting to see if the Bears continue to get Devin Hester more involved in the offense because of his explosive playmaking skills.

Philadelphia will counter the Bears' running game with RB Brian Westbrook, who is an explosive player in his own right. Plus, with his skill set, Westbrook has the potential to have an 'Adrian Peterson' performance similar to the one the Bears defense allowed last week.
