The Philadelphia Eagles fell short on Black Friday in this Week 13 NFL matchup, as the Chicago Bears took full advantage of Jalen Hurts’ struggles to secure a convincing road win at Lincoln Financial Field. Chicago controlled the tempo from the opening drives, while the Eagles never found the rhythm needed to match the Bears’ efficiency.

Chicago leaned on a balanced attack, with Caleb Williams delivering timely throws and the run game repeatedly breaking through for key gains. D’Andre Swift and Monangai powered the Bears down the field, setting up scoring opportunities that kept Philadelphia on its heels all afternoon. Defensively, Chicago stayed sharp, producing takeaways at crucial moments to stall any momentum the Eagles tried to build.

The Eagles made late attempts to claw back into the game, but misfires, penalties, and defensive breakdowns prevented any real comeback push. Hurts connected with A.J. Brown for a pair of big plays, including a touchdown, but it wasn’t enough to overcome Chicago’s efficiency and discipline. The Bears closed out the game with authority, handing Philadelphia a tough defeat in front of its home crowd.
