While the Chicago Bears were whiffing on blocks, dropping passes and executing on offense and defense like they were blindfolded, the Eagles (10-1) were going about their business, dancing and celebrating their way to 31-3 win over the hapless Bears (3-8).

Bears offensive linemen Kyle Long and Bobby Massie seemed to be upset with themselves as much as they were with the Eagles many choreographed celebrations that included a simulation where wide receiver Alshon Jeffery–after he scored a touchdown in the first quarter–rolls (he really just dropped it) an imaginary bowling ball at the other 10 offensive players who lined up as pins.

The Eagles defense had just handed the Bears one of their worst offensive performances in franchise history, including a total of just six yards rushing on the day…as a team.

“I’m not here to watch celebrations, I’m here to block the defensive front, get yards,” Long said in an edgy Bears locker room after the game. “We got negative six yards today, I could give two s**ts about their celebrations. If they (The Eagles) want to go on ‘Dancing with the Stars’ that’s great for them. We’re trying to win football games. We didn’t do that today. I’m very glad they’re well-choreographing their dance routines. we’ve got to find a way to win football games.”

Massie – like Long – seemed to forget that the NFL relaxed its previous rules prohibiting celebrations and that teams all over the league are doing choreographed celebrations.

“This s**t is just like 2015,” Massie said. “They’re doing the same thing the Carolina Panthers did in 2015.”

After a starting off the game with a drive that stalled at midfield, the Eagles dominated the Bears in every facet of the game.

The first quarter was nothing to write home about. The Bears did nothing on offense, the Eagles scored on an eight-play, 44-yard drive to notch the only points of the quarter when Carson Wentz connected with tight end Zach Ertz for a 17-yard touchdown.

The Eagles turned the ball over twice in the first quarter.

The first was a LeGarrette Blount drop after a 35-yard run. The other was by safety Malcolm Jenkins who had the ball punched out of his hands after he intercepted Mitchell Trubisky near midfield.

They Birds looked more like themselves in the second quarter when they moved the ball up and down the field, scoring two touchdowns and a getting 45-yard field goal from a  fully healed Jake Elliott.

The first touchdown of the second quarter was nine-play, 56-yard drive that ended with Wentz hitting Nelson Agholor with a wide receiver screen, then Agholor twisted, turned and leaped his way to a 15-yard score.

Agholor talked about the unselfish play of fellow wide receiver Alshon Jeffery that helped set up the score.

“Great downfield blocking by Alshon,” Agholor said. “I’m appreciative of that. He if doesn’t block his guy, then I’ve got two guys to worry about. He did his job and I will always be appreciative of guys doing that and I’ll do the same.”

The second touchdown came with just nine seconds left in the half and the ball on the Chicago eight-yard line. Wentz through a bullet to the middle of the end zone to Jeffery. The score at intermission was 24-0.

The Eagles final touchdown came in the fourth quarter and the score 24-3.

The Eagles drive started from the Eagles 27-yard line at the end of the third quarter and ended with 13:50 left in the fourth when Jay Ajayi slashed 30 yards to the Bears five-yard line where he was stripped of the ball by  Cre’Von LeBlanc.

The fumble bounced into the end zone where Agholor grabbed it for the score.

The Eagles have registered four consecutive blowouts. Offensive tackle Lane Johnson was asked whether the Eagles were sending a message to the rest of the NFC.

“We’re just trying to put good stuff on film,” Johnson said. “We know what we have, we know what we’re capable of doing, it’s just a matter of playing consistent. It doesn’t matter who you’re playing. If it’s a good team you don’t want to play to the best of your ability then play a team that’s not so good and play down to them. That’s what we try to do, be consistent.”

The Eagles defense was a force unto itself. No one had more than five total tackles.

As a unit, the Birds held the Bears to 153 total yards. Bears running back Jordan Howard entered the game as the NFL’s third leading rusher with 841 yards and five touchdowns. He left the Linc with six net yards and not even a sniff of the end zone.

“We’re just trying to keep this thing going,” linebacker Nigel Bradham said at his locker after the game. “We face great backs every week, at least it’s felt like that to me. We’ve had some top tier backs that we’ve had to stop so…it’s been good. It’s means a lot today but at the end of the day, it means nothing because we have to get ready for Seattle.”

Wentz was 23 of 36 for 227 yards and three touchdown passes. He was sacked once, threw no interceptions and finished with a quarterback rating of 109.4.

The Eagles as a team rushed for 176 yards on 33 carries. Blount rushed 15 times for 97 yards, Wentz had five carries for 29 yards, Corey Clement recorded 27 yards on four carries and Ajayi five carries for a net 26 yards.

Trubisky finished 17 of 33 for 147 yards, no TDs, two interceptions, he was sacked twice and finished with a quarterback rating of 38.3.

Torrey Smith, who caught four passes for 30 yards, said if the Long and Massie are upset about their celebrations, the answer is simple. Don’t let us score.

“Did he see the two-stepping going on by the defense?” Smith said. “I loved it. We had a big cookout. He’s mad? We’re having fun. I think that’s part of the game as a professional. You want to have fun. It’s still a kids game. It’s the same game we’ve been playing forever. The league gives us some leeway now. I remember that team (2015 Panthers). They were having fun. It’s more fun when you’re winning than when you’re losing. If you don’t want to see guys dancing around, there’s only one way to stop that…win.”

Wentz he just looks over to see what his guys are doing after a touchdown and goes with the flow.

“I just show up and try to figure out what the heck we’re doing,” Wentz said after the game. “We don’t plan anything, but I think the defense plans theirs as you can see. But it’s cool to see everyone out there having fun. You can see everyone jumping in them and joining, and that’s just the brotherhood that we have right now. It’s a blast.”

Yes it is. *
