In Philadelphia, the Chicago Bears won with a score of 24-15, cementing their position at the top of the NFC North standings.

With D’Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai both running for more than 100 yards and each resulting in a touchdown, their running backs were a key to success against the Eagles.

Midway through the fourth quarter, Caleb Williams found tight end Cole Kmet with a 28-yard touchdown pass.

The Bears’ record improved to 9-3 after Green Bay won by 8-3 on Thursday over division rivals Detroit (7-5).

In two of their next three games, which will take place on Sunday, December 7, Chicago travels to Lambeau Field.

Meanwhile, as a disjointed performance fell to a second successive defeat, the Eagles received boos from a section of their home supporters.

Chicago’s first-half superiority was not quite reflected in a score of 10-3 at half-time.

Philadelphia struggled early on and only managed 83 yards of total offense in the first half, which gave them a 21-0 lead in the loss to Dallas on Sunday.

In the third quarter, home quarterback Jalen Hurts turned the ball over twice, including a 33-yard touchdown pass to AJ Brown, which had reduced the Eagles’ single-point deficit. Hurts’ only interception was his second of the year.

Nahshon Wright forced and recovered that crucial fumble. It occurred shortly after Jalyx Hunt had intercepted Williams, and Philadelphia was poised to take the lead for the first time, deep inside Chicago territory.
