"Kyle Monangai rushed for 130 yards and a touchdown, D'Andre Swift ran for 125 yards and a score, and the Chicago Bears finished with 281 yards on the ground to win their fifth straight game, 24-15 over the reeling Philadelphia Eagles on Friday night. Led by rookie coach Ben Johnson, the surprising Bears (9-3) are alone in first place in the NFC North heading into a 7 December showdown at Green Bay."
"Last season, the Bears' Thanksgiving loss at Detroit led to the firing of coach Matt Eberflus and was their sixth straight of what ballooned into a 10-game losing streak. A year later, the Bears bullied Philadelphia's defensive line for a relatively easy win at the home of the Super Bowl champions. The Eagles (8-4) seemingly had the NFC East wrapped up two weeks ago, only to suffer consecutive defeats that have them looking little like a Super Bowl contender."
Chicago rushed for 281 yards as Kyle Monangai gained 130 yards and a touchdown while D'Andre Swift added 125 yards and a score. The Bears beat the Eagles 24-15 to extend their winning streak to five and improve to 9-3, taking sole possession of the NFC North under rookie coach Ben Johnson. Caleb Williams was 17 of 36 for 154 yards and a touchdown and converted a key fourth-down pass to Colston Loveland. Jalen Hurts fumbled on a tush push, leading to a Bears turnover that produced a Monangai touchdown and a Williams-to-Kmet scoring pass. Eagles fell to 8-4 after consecutive losses, with fans booing and calling for offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo to be fired. Last season's Thanksgiving loss precipitated Matt Eberflus' firing amid a 10-game losing streak; this season the Bears dominated Philadelphia's defensive line en route to a relatively easy victory.
