Monday Night Football: Why Michael Vick's Arm Will Lead the Eagles to Victory

Philadelphia Eagles star quarterback Michael Vick has been as hot as any quarterback in the league as of late, as he will roll over the Bears defense in Week 10.

Taking on the Bears at home will be a big advantage for Vick and the Eagles, as the team will continue to play winning football on Monday night. A 34-7 win in their last outing in Philadelphia spells for much promise for the team.

Yet without question the ultimate ticket to a Philadelphia victory on Monday night: the arm of Michael Vick.

The Bears feature the No. 11 defense against the run, as Eagles running back LeSean McCoy will be limited in his production and will undoubtedly see a variety of difficult looks from Bears defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli.

That's where Vick comes in.

Against the No. 28 ranked team against the pass, Vick will have a field day with the Bears secondary. It is a secondary that gives up over 270 yards per game and allow the fourth-highest completion percentage in the league at 63.5 percent. The Bears are a bottom-five passing defense that Vick will take advantage of early and plenty.

One must also consider the guy's play as of late.

In his last two games, Vick has completed 66 percent of his passes while throwing for three touchdowns and just one interception. His accuracy in the pocket against both the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Redskins was as solid as it has been all season, as it will only continue to show itself against the Bears.

The other more important factor to consider is the ability of Vick to help the team convert on third down.

In the team's last two games, Vick has helped the Eagles to convert a whopping 13 of 28 third-down conversions. The Bears will have to shut down the Eagles on third down, something Vick will prevent from happening in this NFC showdown.

Not to mention, while posing as a threat in the pocket, Vick also makes defenses think twice with his ability to run the football.

In his last two outings, Vick has recorded a whopping 104 yards on just 14 carries. His legs have made an evident threat for opposing defenses, as many times his runs are what make for first-down conversions.

When it's all said and done, Michael Vick will be a force to reckon with on Sunday against the Bears as the team will ride Vick to victory. Vick and the Eagles have been clicking offensively and have the clear advantage against the No. 28 passing defense in the NFL.

Fully expect Vick to be the difference maker on Monday night with his arm, helping the Eagles to a Week 10 monumental victory. The win will get the team back to .500 and tied for second place in the NFC East with the Dallas Cowboys.
