The Philadelphia Eagles and the Chicago Bears face off on Sunday Night Football as both sides look to secure places in the NFC playoffs.
Chip Kelly is having a fine debut season as a head coach in the NFL as he has turned the Eagles' fortunes around from strugglers last season to potential NFC East champions.
Meanwhile, Marc Trestman is having similar success at the Bears in his first year in sole charge of an NFL team, as he revolutionised his side's offense to led them to the top of the NFC North.
For whichever side that triumphs in the clash at Lincoln Financial Field a playoff place will be secured if results in their division go in their favour.
If that team is the Eagles then you can count on running back LeSean McCoy having a good day for his side.
The 25-year-old has been in excellent form recently and broke the club record for rushing yards in a game in an incredible match against the Detroit Lions, where he ran for 217 yards and two touchdowns in blizzard conditions.

McCoy leads the NFL in rushing yards with 1,343 on the ground along with 507 receiving yards. It's fair to say the offense is built around him and the player himself stated that he would have no other way.
It looks like he will have his wish as the leading rusher in the NFL goes up against the worst run defense in the league, as the injury-ravaged Bears allow 152 yards a game at an average of 5.2 yards a carry and have allowed 17 rushing touchdowns.
If McCoy is allowed to run all over the Bears like he did their NFC North rivals, the Lions, the Eagles should have little problem putting points on the board, while also taking time off the clock and away from the potent Bears offense.
Chicago have to find a way to stop him, whether that's with defensive stands or turnovers, where they have been opportunistic over the years, the game will rest on that area of the field for them.
However, this game can also swing the other way as the Bears can unleash their offense on the Eagles with Jay Cutler finding his feet again after returning from injury last week in their win over the Cleveland Browns.
In recent weeks, receivers Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery have been staking their claim to go to the Pro Bowl with Jeffery especially lighting up the NFL as he broke the Bears' receiving yardage record for the second time this season in his side's defeat to the Minnesota Vikings.

The duo stand at 6'4" each, they can overpower any defensive back in the league with their size and strength and have proven that on several occasions this season.
Unfortunately for the Eagles their defense ranks 31st against the pass so stopping Cutler and his men will be a tricky task. They will be boosted by the return of cornerback Brandon Boykin but he along with teammate Cary Williams will be up against it.
Again their best chance of preventing their demise will be to try to intercept Cutler's passes en route as the Browns did last week although even that wasn't enough to stop the offensive juggernaut.
Turnovers will be key in this game, whoever forces the critical error or errors will get the win they so desperately crave for their playoff ambitions.
