Chicago Bears Take Down Philadelphia Eagles 24-15 on Black Friday for Fifth Straight Win
In a dominating performance, the Chicago Bears ran over the reeling Philadelphia Eagles on Black Friday night, securing their fifth straight victory and propelling themselves to the top of the NFC North. Led by rookie coach Ben Johnson, the surprising Bears (9-3) dismantled the struggling Eagles (8-4), marking a stark contrast to last season's embarrassing loss at Detroit that led to Matt Eberflus' firing.
The Bears' running game was a force to be reckoned with, as Kyle Monangai and D'Andre Swift combined for 255 yards on the ground, including a pair of touchdowns. The Eagles, meanwhile, struggled mightily, unable to find their footing against one of the worst run defenses in the NFL.
Philadelphia's Jalen Hurts had a decent game, throwing for 230 yards and two touchdowns, but it wasn't enough to overcome the Bears' relentless pressure. The Eagles' offense showed few signs of life, with quarterback Caleb Williams completing just 17 of 36 passes for 154 yards and a touchdown.
The turning point came when Jalen Hurts fumbled on a crucial play, giving the Bears possession and allowing them to capitalize on a seven-yard pass from Williams to Colston Loveland. From there, Monangai ripped off a 31-yard run on the first play of the ensuing drive, setting up a four-yard touchdown run that made it 17-9 early in the fourth.
The Eagles' only glimmer of hope came late in the game, when Hurts connected with AJ Brown for a 33-yard touchdown. However, the extra point attempt was missed by kicker Jake Elliott, and the Bears held on for the win.
As the Eagles continue to struggle, fans are growing increasingly frustrated, chanting "Fire Kevin!" as they flee the stadium. Meanwhile, the Bears remain confident, knowing that their running game is a key component of their success. With three linebackers out with injuries, Chicago's defense was able to impose its will on Philadelphia, securing a crucial win in the process.
The stage is now set for a showdown between the Bears and Green Bay Packers on December 7th, as Chicago looks to extend their winning streak and solidify their position at the top of the NFC North.
