Bears outplay and outcoach the Eagles
Hollywood couldn't have written a better script for Case Keenum and the Bears last night. @gridironborn and @wiltfongjr break it down here.
CHICAGO, IL - The Chicago Bears outplayed and outcoached the Philadelphia Eagles in a thrilling game at Soldier Field. Quarterback Case Keenum, aged 38, made his third start of the season and became the oldest Bear to ever score a rushing touchdown. The Bears' defense had a historic performance, shutting down the Eagles' offense in the second half, while allowing Jalen Hurts to finish with only 42 passing yards, an interception, and a 50% completion rate.
Running back Saquon Barkley struggled in the second half, gaining only 9 yards on 4 carries after amassing 73 yards in the first. Head coach Ben Johnson's game plan and defensive coordinator Dennis Allen's adjustments were key factors in the Bears' victory, marking a strong second game in a row for the defense under Allen's leadership. Tune in for Bear & Balanced, airing at 6:00 p.m. CT, for a detailed breakdown of the game.
