The Philadelphia Eagles, fresh from their historic Super Bowl victory just a few months ago, have hit rock bottom. In a dismal performance that will be remembered for ages to come, the Eagles suffered a crushing 24-15 defeat at the hands of the Chicago Bears.
In front of a disheartened home crowd, Caleb Williams' decision-making proved disastrous as he was intercepted by Kevin Byard with just over an hour left in the game. The Eagles were struggling to mount any real attack, and it seemed like only a matter of time before they succumbed to the pressure.
The Bears, meanwhile, were on fire, thanks largely to the dominant running performance of Kyle Monongai, who churned out 130 yards and a touchdown from 22 carries. His compatriot D'Andre Swift also made an impact, rushing for 125 yards and a score before leaving the field with what appeared to be an injury.
The Eagles' woes continued when Jalen Hurts was intercepted by Jaylx Hunt, another crushing blow that left them reeling. As if that wasn't enough, Nahshon Wright ripped the ball from Hurts' hands on a tush-push attempt, securing a turnover for Chicago and effectively sealing the win for the Bears.
The final nail in the coffin came when Eagles fans began to flee in droves as Williams was hit with a 28-yard touchdown pass to Cole Kmet. The stadium emptied, leaving behind an eerie silence that spoke volumes about the state of mind of the once-mighty Eagles franchise.
For the Bears, it was a welcome change from their previous string of performances. They're now sitting pretty at the top of the NFC North with a 9-3 record, having won nine out of their last ten games. Meanwhile, the Eagles have slumped to 8-4 after their second straight loss, with many questions surrounding their ability to repeat as champions.
Ben Johnson's Bears were in complete control for most of the game, outgaining their hosts by a wide margin and enjoying a significant advantage on the ground. The stats tell the story: 425 yards to 317, 85 plays to 51, 28 first downs to 14 β it was all there for Chicago to take.
As the Eagles look to bounce back from this disastrous defeat, they'll need to sort out their ailing offense and find some answers in their next game against the Chargers. For now, though, they're left to ponder what could have been β and how quickly they can restore the glory days that once made them such a force to be reckoned with in the NFL.
