Cowboys defensive end Sam Williams forced Eagles running back Saquon Barkley to fumble the ball in Cowboys territory and it was recovered by linebacker Kenneth Murray Jr. Those two players, who have struggled significantly in 2025, kept the Eagles from taking the lead in the late moments of the game.
The Chicago Bears have been one of the surprise teams in the NFL this season, and they continued their ascent on "Black Friday" with a 24-15 win on the road against the Philadelphia Eagles. This victory pushes Caleb Williams and Co. to 9-3 on the season, which helps them leapfrog the now 8-4 Eagles for the No. 2 seed in the NFC.
The Bears have two head-to-head matchups left against the Packers, who are 8-3-1. Now that Chicago has beaten the Eagles, the Bears should feel confident that they can beat the Packers too. A team with four straight double-digit loss seasons is in great shape to make the playoffs.
The Eagles still only trailed by a point after the Eagles' best offensive series. They went 92 yards for a touchdown, led by Jalen Hurts' 23-yard run and 33-yard TD pass to Brown with 8:05 left in the third quarter. Jake Elliott missed the extra point.
For the first 30 minutes, the Eagles did everything necessary to win a key game in a hostile stadium. They looked like a team worthy of a title defense. For the next 30 minutes, they did everything necessary to give it away.
Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson spoke out with a subtle warning to the Green Bay Packers after beating the Eagles.

Jalen Hurts and the Eagles' offense still have their problems, but they never turned the ball over, while Jaelan Phillips and the defense shut Jared Goff and the Lions down.
At 5-5-1, the Cowboys' path to a playoff spot is most likely via the wild card, but even that is marked with potential potholes. The Cowboys lose head-to-head tiebreakers with the 8-3 Chicago Bears and 6-5 Carolina Panthers (who play Monday night versus the 49ers). They play the Detroit Lions (7-4) a week after the Chiefs.
