Bears vs Eagles Recap: Chicago Wins
Friday night delivered exactly what everyone expected… Bears vs Eagles… A heavyweight collision between two division leaders fighting for NFC supremacy. Chicago rolled into Philadelphia with the chance to hold their spot atop the NFC North after Green Bay’s Thanksgiving win. The Eagles entered with an opportunity to lock down control of the NFC East.
Both teams were 8–3. Both needed the win. But only one offense showed up when it mattered most, and it wasn’t the one playing at home.
Chicago leaned on the run game, controlled the clock, and capitalized on Philadelphia’s mistakes, walking out with a 24–15 win that could shape the entire NFC playoff race.
Let’s break down the Bears vs Eagles showdown on the field.
Bears Get Out to a Hot Start in the First Quarter
Chicago wasted zero time putting pressure on the Eagles.
D’Andre Swift punched in a three-yard rushing touchdown in the opening quarter, and that wasn’t the end of his work.
Swift’s Day:
18Car, 125 Yds, 13 Rec, 1 TD
His vision and acceleration kept Philadelphia’s defense off balance from the jump.
Both Teams Trade Field Goals in the Second Quarter
The Philadelphia Eagles opened the quarter with a 44-yard Jake Elliott field goal, cutting the lead to four. But that was the last kick he’d want to remember. Elliott later missed a crucial attempt that kept momentum firmly in Chicago’s hands.
Chicago answered with a 30-yard Cairo Santos field goal, pushing the lead back to seven.
Halftime score: Bears 10, Eagles 3
The tone? Chicago controlled. Philadelphia is frustrated.
Eagles Strike in the Third Quarter
The Eagles finally found a spark when Jalen Hurts connected with A.J. Brown for a 33-yard touchdown in the third quarter. But the spark faded fast, Elliott pushed the extra point wide.
Instead of a tie game, Chicago held a 10–9 lead heading into the fourth.
A.J. Brown was doing everything he could. The rest of the offense? Not so much.
Chicago Slams the Door
The fourth quarter belonged to the Bears.
Kyle Monangai Extends the Lead
Monangai capped off a punishing Chicago drive with a four-yard touchdown, pushing the lead to 17–9.
Caleb Williams Delivers the Knockout
When the Eagles needed a stop, they didn’t get it.
Williams found Cole Kmet for a 28-yard touchdown, giving Chicago a 24–9 lead with just over six minutes left.
Hurts rallied the Eagles for a desperation touchdown, another A.J. Brown score, but the two-point try failed, and the onside kick went nowhere.
Final score: Bears 24, Eagles 15
Chicago moves to 9–3, holding firm atop the NFC North.
Philadelphia drops to 8–4, still leading the NFC East but suddenly looking vulnerable.
