Eagles-Bears updates: Former Eagle picks off Jalen Hurts to keep Chicago on top

PHILADELPHIA — Greetings from the press box at Lincoln Financial Field, where the Philadelphia Eagles and Chicago Bears will meet in an NFC battle on Black Friday.

The Eagles (8-3) are trying to bounce back from their collapse to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday at AT&T Stadium.

Philadelphia took a step back in the race for the NFC’s No. 1 overall seed with its 24-21 loss to Dallas. The Los Angeles Rams (9-2) now have the best odds to earn the first-round bye and home-field advantage.

The Bears (8-3), meanwhile, are looking legitimize their NFC North-leading record with a win over the defending Super Bowl champions.

Follow along for updates from Lincoln Financial Field throughout the afternoon.

THIRD QUARTER

11:32 – Former Eagle Kevin Byard Jr. picks off a scrambling Jalen Hurts with a diving grab near the sideline at the CHI 49. The Birds’ offensive woes continue.

HALFTIME: Bears 10, Eagles 3

The boo birds were out at the Linc after that ugly first half. The Eagles were outgained, 222-83, by the Bears and have run only 17 offensive plays to Chicago’s 47. The Bears ran the ball at will (when they wanted to), racking up 142 yards on the ground with 6.5 yards per carry. Jalen Hurts, meanwhile, is 5/10 for 57 yards with a few missed throws. The Birds are lucky to be down only 10-3.

SECOND QUARTER

6:44 — Bears 10, Eagles 3

The Eagles got bailed out by Caleb Williams there. Rome Odunze was wide open in the end zone for a touchdown, but Williams short-armed his throw. The Bears had to settle for a field goal, keeping this a one-score game.

13:04 — Bears 7, Eagles 3

The Eagles had an opportunity to answer but were forced to settle for a Jake Elliott field goal. Jalen Hurts squandered an easy third-and-8 conversion at Chicago’s 26-yard line, missing an open DeVonta Smith.

FIRST QUARTER

1:31 — Bears 7, Eagles 0

Well, that was too easy. The Bears bullied the Eagles up front on that drive, marching on an 11-play, 78-yard touchdown drive powered by the ground game. Seven of the 11 plays were runs to either Kyle Monangai or D’Andre Swift, who finished things off with a three-yard TD run. Chicago already has 84 rushing yards on 13 attempts.

9:34 — Eagles 0, Bears 0

The Eagles’ defense has started strong. Chicago, after stringing together a drive down to Philadelphia’s 25-yard line, was stalled on a massive fourth-down stop by Byron Young and the defensive front. Kyle Monangai was originally ruled to have moved the chains. But an easy challenge by Nick Sirianni overturned the call.
