Bears Shock Eagles with Relentless Ground Attack in Philly
So let’s talk about this wild Black Friday matchup between the Chicago Bears and the Philadelphia Eagles — a game that had Philly fans booing so loudly you could practically feel the frustration through the TV. What was expected to be a tight showdown between two 8–3 teams ended up becoming a statement win by the Bears, who walked into Lincoln Financial Field and controlled the entire afternoon with an old-school, punishing ground game.
Right from the start, something felt off for the Eagles. Every first-half drive ended in boos raining down from their own crowd, and honestly, the reaction wasn’t surprising. Philadelphia managed just 83 yards in the entire first half. Meanwhile, the Bears were moving with ease, piling up 232 yards before halftime — and former Eagle D’Andre Swift had more yards by himself than the entire Philly offense. That had to sting.
The second half didn’t begin any better. The Eagles opened with a three-and-out, and Jalen Hurts soon followed with an interception that only deepened the tension in the stadium. But then, out of nowhere, the spark finally appeared. The Eagles put together a lightning-quick 92-yard drive capped by a 33-yard A.J. Brown touchdown. The extra point was missed, though, so Philly still trailed 10–9, which felt like a theme of the day: every small step forward was followed by something deflating.

Momentum finally seemed to be shifting when Chicago’s rookie quarterback Caleb Williams threw an interception at the line of scrimmage. The stadium woke up — briefly. On the very next sequence, the Bears forced a fumble on a failed tush push and grabbed the ball right back. Whatever hope Philly had was snatched away just as quickly as it arrived.
And the Bears weren’t done. They kept running the ball straight through the Eagles’ defense, and seventh-round rookie Kyle Monangai carved out his moment with a powerful touchdown run that stretched Chicago’s lead. Then came the real dagger: a smooth 28-yard touchdown connection to Cole Kmet that put the Bears firmly in control.
A.J. Brown managed another touchdown late, but the failed two-point attempt left Philly stuck in a two-possession hole with no realistic way out. By the final whistle, history had been made — the Bears had two running backs cross 100 rushing yards in the same game for the first time since 1985. In total, Chicago racked up 281 rushing yards compared to Philly’s 87. That’s domination in its purest form.
The Eagles will now try to regroup before heading to Los Angeles for a Monday night matchup against the Chargers. The Bears, on the other hand, are riding a five-game winning streak right into a showdown with their longtime rivals, the Packers, at Lambeau Field.
If this game showed anything, it’s that the Bears’ run game is becoming a real problem for the rest of the league — and the Eagles suddenly have serious questions to answer.
