PHILADELPHIA – The Bears rushed for 281 yards and two touchdowns and their defense generated two takeaways and permitted just two TDs in a 24-15 win over the Eagles Friday at Lincoln Financial Field.

Kyle Monangai (130 yards on 22 attempts) and D'Andre Swift (125 yards on 18 carries) became the first Bears duo to each rush for at least 100 yards in a game since Walter Payton and Matt Suhey Nov. 10, 1985.

The defense produced two takeaways against an Eagles team that entered the game having committed an NFL-low six turnovers all season.

The turning point came midway through the third quarter with the Bears protecting a 10-9 lead. After a Caleb Williams interception, the Eagles lined up in the tush push formation on third-and-1 from the Chicago 12. Cornerback Nahshon Wright ripped the ball out of quarterback Jalen Hurts' hands and recovered the fumble at the 13.

The offense followed by scoring on its next two possessions to extend its lead to 24-9.

With the victory, the Bears improved to 9-3 and maintained their lead atop the NFC North over the Packers (8-3-1) and Lions (7-5). They've now won five straight games and nine of their last 10.

On the game's opening possession, the Bears converted two third-down plays. But they turned the ball over on downs when Monangai was stopped for no gain on fourth-and-1 from the Eagles' 25. Monangai was initially awarded the first down, but Philadelphia challenged the call, which was overturned.

The Bears took a 7-0 lead on their second possession on Swift's 3-yard touchdown run late in the first quarter. Monangai (five carries for 38 yards) and Swift (2-26) combined to rush for 64 yards on the 11-play, 78-yard drive.

On third-and-2 from the Eagles' 14, Monangai was initially stopped short of the line to gain, but the entire offensive line and tight end Durham Smythe pushed the pile forward three yards to the 11, resulting in a first down.

After Jake Elliott's 44-yard field goal cut the Eagles' deficit to 7-3, Cairo Santos' 30-yard field goal extended the Bears' lead to 10-3 with 6:44 left in the first half. The kick capped a 15-play, 68-yard drive that stalled at the Philadelphia 12.

On their first three possessions of the game, the Bears rushed for 131 yards on 19 carries and converted 7 of 9 third-down plays.

In the first half, the Bears held huge advantages over the Eagles in first downs (16-2), yards (222-83), plays (47-17) and time of possession (21:00-9:00).

After open the second half by forcing a third straight three-and-out, the Bears defense generated the game's first takeaway. On second-and-10 from the Eagles' 26, Hurts scrambled to his right and tried to lead a receiver down the sideline. But safety Kevin Byard III sprinted from the middle of the field and made a diving interception at the Chicago 49, taking over the NFL lead with six picks this season.

The Bears offense could not capitalize, however, going three-and-out.

The Eagles followed with a 5-play, 92-yard drive that was capped by Hurts' 33-yard TD pass to A.J. Brown midway through the third quarter. But Elliott missed the extra point attempt wide left, preserving the Bears' 10-9 lead.

On the Bears' next possession, Williams' short pass intended for Monangai was intercepted by outside linebacker Jalyx Hunt, who returned it 13 yards to the Chicago 36. But Wright responded with the forced fumble on the tush push.

The Bears followed with a 13-play, 87-yard drive that culminated in Monangai's 4-yard TD run, widening the margin to 17-9 early in the fourth quarter. Monangai rushed for 72 yards on eight carries on the possession.

The Bears then extended their lead to 24-9 on their next possession on Williams' 28-yard TD pass to Cole Kmet with 6:19 to play.

The Eagles cut the deficit to 24-15 on Hurts' 4-yard TD pass to Brown with 3:10 to play. But Hurts threw an incomplete pass on the subsequent two-minute conversion attempt, preserving the Bears' two-score lead. Philadelphia then attempted a 52-yard field goal with 13 seconds remaining, but Elliott's kick sailed wide left.
