The Bears walked into one of the toughest environments in football and took the Eagles soul on Sunday. From the first drive to the last whistle, Chicago imposed its physical brand of football, controlling the tempo, dominating the trenches, and showcasing a run game that has become downright terrifying. Philly knew the Bears were good. But they didn’t know they were this good.
Chicago’s rushing attack has evolved into a full-blown identity. Kyle Monangai, D’Andre Swift, and Caleb Williams each contributed to a ground game that Philly simply couldn’t stop. When a team known for toughness gets bullied on its own field, it means something—and Sirianni’s postgame admission proved the Eagles felt every bit of it.
“They out coached us, they out played us.”
This performance didn’t come out of nowhere. Head coach Ben Johnson has repeatedly promised that the Bears would play their best football starting in December. But after going 5-0 in November, it looks like Chicago is ahead of schedule. The Eagles reaction—especially Sirianni acknowledging how badly they were beaten—indirectly validated just how dangerous the Bears have become.
The Bears didn’t just beat Philadelphia. They earned their respect. And now the rest of the NFL has officially been put on notice: Chicago is arriving early.
