Don’t let the final score fool you — the Chicago Bears didn’t just beat the defending NFC champs on Black Friday, they snatched their soul, stomped on it at midfield, and waved to the crowd while doing it. This 24-15 win over Philly wasn’t your run-of-the-mill upset. It was a declaration of dominance — with receipts.
Let’s break down the 5 craziest stats from a game that felt like the Bears sent a message with brass knuckles.
1. Swift and Monangai Pulled a Walter Payton Throwback
You’ve gotta go all the way back to the damn Super Bowl XX season to find the last time two Bears backs went over 100 yards in the same game. That’s 1985 — when Walter Payton and Matt Suhey were trucking dudes into submission. Fast forward to Week 13, and it’s D’Andre Swift (125 yards, 1 TD) and Kyle Monangai (130 yards, 1 TD) clowning the Eagles’ so-called front seven.
The Bears racked up 281 rushing yards on 47 carries — that’s 6.0 yards per tote. In the NFL, that’s not a run game — that’s a full-blown mugging.

This wasn’t fluky. It was a systematic demolition that Philly never adjusted to. And doing it on a short week, on national TV? Chef’s kiss.
2. The Tush Push Got Pushed Back
Since 2022, the Eagles’ Tush Push had been more inevitable than death and taxes. Not anymore.
Nahshon Wright saw that play coming and straight-up snatched Jalen Hurts’ soul. Wright ripped the ball out on a 4th-and-short at the Bears’ 12, flipping momentum harder than a kick return in Madden.
He’s only the second player in NFL history to force a turnover on that play. Think about that. The league has tried to stop this thing for years. Nahshon Wright said, “Nah. Not today.”
Ben Johnson called it the turning point of the game. He’s not wrong — Philly was about to take the lead. Instead, Chicago took their will.
3. Eagles Got Steamrolled Like It Was 2005
Philly hadn’t let a single running back top 100 yards all season. Enter Swift. Exit pride.
D’Andre Swift became the first RB all year to eclipse 100 yards on this Eagles defense. Oh, and Monangai did it too.
That makes the Bears just the second team in the Super Bowl era to drop two 100-yard rushers on Philly in the same game. The last? The 2005 Broncos. That’s two decades of “nope” — shattered on a cold afternoon by Chicago’s new thunder and lightning combo.
4. Nahshon Wright > Entire Defenses
Eight. Takeaways.
That’s Nahshon Wright’s 2025 stat line after his fumble recovery against Hurts. Five picks, three fumble recovers. For a guy who started the year as a backup? That’s bonkers.
To put that in perspective: Wright has more takeaways than the ENTIRE DEFENSES of the Giants, Commanders, and Jets. Individually. That’s not even counting Kevin Byard, who leads the league in picks with six.
Together, they’ve turned the Bears into turnover tycoons — leading the NFL with 26 takeaways. And this is a team people thought would finish third in the North.
5. Kyle Monangai Is Walter Payton Rookie Rare
Four straight games. Four straight rushing TDs.
That puts Kyle Monangai in a very exclusive Bears rookie club: just him, Jeremy Langford, and Walter Payton. Not bad company for a seventh-round pick from Rutgers.
And it’s not just the scoring — the kid has zero career fumbles across 669 college and NFL carries. He’s the kind of back who gives you clock control, red zone punch, and no damn turnovers. Exactly what this team needed to take control of the NFC North.
Final Verdict
These aren’t just numbers. They’re evidence of a team that bullied Philly for four quarters. Ben Johnson’s offense has won 9 of its last 10 and looks like a playoff nightmare no one wants to deal with.
Next up? Green Bay. In Lambeau. For the NFC North crown.
Let’s f***ing go.
Philly is an every other year contender, IMHO. That being said, they always prioritize the trenches on both sides of the ball. It’s a nice change of pace from our norm of being manhandled along the OL and DL, especially the OL.
Monangai runs with a forward lean.
This was a good article for a Bears fans soul. Almost like a good comfort food meal that you enjoyed.
Here’s a stat to add to this.
GB and Detroit played the Eagles in consecutive weeks recently.
Combined, they scored 16 points, and produced 560 yards in two games.
Bears scored 24 and produced nearly 500 yards in one game.
