The Chicago Bears secured a decisive 24-15 victory over the defending champion Philadelphia Eagles in the NFL's Black Friday matchup on November 28, 2025, at Lincoln Financial Field. Chicago's rushing attack overwhelmed Philadelphia's defense, marking their first win in the city since 2011. The win keeps the Bears atop the NFC North standings at 9-3.
Game Overview
The Bears dominated on the ground, amassing over 255 rushing yards led by D'Andre Swift's 125 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries, alongside rookie Kyle Monangai's 130 yards and a score on 22 attempts. This performance more than doubled the Eagles' average allowed rushing yards per game entering Week 13. Despite the offensive struggles, Philadelphia's defense limited Chicago's passing game, holding quarterback Caleb Williams to 154 yards and a 56.9 passer rating.
Key Moments
The game shifted in the third quarter when Bears cornerback Nahshon Wright forced a fumble on Jalen Hurts' tush push near the goal line, leading to Monangai's touchdown and a 17-9 lead. Williams later connected with tight end Cole Kmet for a 28-yard touchdown, extending the advantage to 24-9. Hurts responded with two touchdown passes to A.J. Brown for 132 yards, but a missed extra point and late field goal attempt by Jake Elliott sealed the Bears' win.
Player Performances
Hurts completed 19 of 34 passes for 230 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception, adding 31 rushing yards. Williams struggled through the air with 17 completions on 36 attempts but managed a touchdown pass. The Bears' offensive line provided crucial blocks against a stout Eagles front featuring Jalen Carter.
Implications
This loss drops the Eagles to 8-4, marking their second two-game skid this season and intensifying scrutiny on offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo. Chicago (9-3) prepares for a road matchup against the Green Bay Packers (8-3-1), while Philadelphia faces the Los Angeles Chargers. The victory highlights the Bears' run game legitimacy under Ben Johnson's offense and raises questions about countering the Eagles' tush push strategy.
