The Chicago Bears are true contenders: 3 takeaways from statement win over the Philadelphia Eagles
The Chicago Bears went out and proved many doubters and critics wrong on Black Friday. Chicago moved to 9-3 on the season with a statement victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, 24-15.

The Bears have now won their fifth straight game and are still in control of the NFC North.
As seven point underdogs, Chicago pulled off an incredible upset that will be talked about for a very long time. Here’s three takeaways from the biggest win of the 2025 season.
The Chicago Bears offensive line were the true MVP’s of the game

The Bears’ offense made history with a historic rushing performance. Running backs D’Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai both rushed for 100 yards and a touchdown in the same game. The last time the Bears did that was during the 1985 Super Bowl winning season, with the one and only Walter Payton at running back.
The dominating run game couldn’t have been done without the performance from the offensive line.
The offensive line did a perfect job limiting the Eagles’ strong defensive front. Right guard Jonah Jackson and right tackle Darnell Wright made some very impressive blocks that led to huge runs from Swift and Monangai.
Darnell Wright in particular, did an awesome job holding Eagles star Jalen Carter down.
The turnaround the offensive line has had since 2024 is quite remarkable. Thanks to the additions of Jackson, Joe Thuney, Drew Dalman, and rookie Ozzy Trapilo, the Bears now have themselves one of the best offensive lines in the NFL.

Nashon Wright continues to be a hero on the defense
Defensive back Nashon Wright has done a phenomenal job holding his own while filling in for an injured Jaylon Johnson. The veteran defensive back currently has the second most interceptions in the NFL, behind teammate Kevin Byard.
Wright was given major praise from head coach Ben Johnson prior to Friday’s game, and rightfully so.
The defensive back made arguably the most important play of the entire game. In a crucial third and short play during the late third quarter, the Bears were able to stop Philadelphia on the infamous “tush push”.
The Eagles were down just one point and were in the drivers seat to take the lead, but then Wright made the play of the game. Wright was able to punch the ball out from Jalen Hurts and recover the ball. This lead to a Bears touchdown drive to extend the lead, and they never looked back.

Without a doubt, Wright has earned his playing time moving forward. Having him out there with a fully healthy Jaylon Johnson and Kyler Gordon, alongside CJ-Gardner Johnson could make this secondary absolutely dangerous moving forward.
Ben Johnson is the man
Exactly one year ago, Matt Eberflus was fired as Bears head coach. Fast forward a year later, the Bears have now beaten the defending Super Bowl champions and are a contender.
This clearly could not be done without Ben Johnson. Johnson has turned around the culture of the locker room completely. Every player has bought in and wants to win for him. Johnson has brought a vibe in Chicago we haven’t seen since Lovie Smith.
Not only that, but for the first time in my lifetime the Bears have an electric offense. And we still haven’t reached the full potential yet. Without a doubt, Johnson has turned this team into a true contender moving forward.
