  • Chicago's defense drove the result by holding Jalen Hurts to 153 passing yards, forcing three turnovers and keeping Philadelphia without a takeaway for a third straight game.
  • Kalif Raymond supplied the biggest receiving spark with six catches for 90 yards and a 41-yard touchdown, while the Bears controlled the game with 24 first downs and 128 rushing yards.
  • Philadelphia also lost momentum when Hurts briefly exited for a concussion check in the second quarter, and backup Andy Dalton was intercepted in the end zone before Hurts returned for a late first-half sneak score.
  • The win steadied Chicago after a 9-3 loss to Minnesota, while both teams moved to 2-1 heading into home games next Sunday.
