Philadelphia Crowd Boos as Eagles Fall 24–15 to Bears in Second Straight Loss
The pressure is officially rising in Philadelphia.
The Eagles dropped their second consecutive game on Thursday night, losing 24–15 to the surging Chicago Bears in a matchup between two 8–3 teams at Lincoln Financial Field. The frustration inside the stadium was impossible to miss — every stalled drive in the first half was met with loud boos as the offense struggled to find any rhythm.
Eagles’ Offense Stalls Early
Philadelphia managed just 83 total yards in the first 30 minutes, while former Eagles running back D’Andre Swift outgained the entire team on his own, piling up 88 rushing yards and a 13-yard reception before halftime.
Chicago, meanwhile, rolled to 232 first-half yards, dominating possession and setting the tone physically.
Second-Half Spark Fades Quickly
The Eagles opened the second half with a quick three-and-out, followed by a Jalen Hurts interception. Moments later, something finally clicked: Philadelphia marched 92 yards in just five plays, capped by a 33-yard touchdown to A.J. Brown.
But a missed extra point kept Chicago in front, 10–9.
On the next Bears possession, rookie quarterback Caleb Williams threw an interception at the line of scrimmage, giving the Eagles a chance to seize control. Instead, the Bears punched back immediately, forcing and recovering a fumble on a failed quarterback sneak.
Chicago’s Ground Game Takes Over
From there, Chicago took full control.
Seventh-round rookie Kyle Monangai delivered a breakout performance, slicing through the Eagles’ defense and scoring to extend the lead to 17–9.
Philadelphia couldn’t respond — another three-and-out followed — and the Bears capitalized again. Williams connected with Cole Kmet on a 28-yard touchdown to push the game out of reach.
Brown added a late score for the Eagles, but a failed two-point conversion kept the deficit at two possessions, sealing the loss.
Historic Rushing Performance by the Bears
It was a landmark night for Chicago’s ground attack:
- 281 rushing yards (to Philadelphia’s 87)
- Two RBs with 100+ yards — the first time the Bears achieved that feat since 1985
- 28 first downs, doubling the Eagles’ total of 14
The Eagles’ defense struggled to contain the run at every level, while the offense remained inconsistent and turnover-prone.
What’s Next?
Philadelphia, now sliding after a hot start, will try to regroup before a Monday Night Football matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers on December 8.
The Bears, winners of five straight, will head to Lambeau Field next week to take on the Green Bay Packers.
