The Eagles notched their 13th victory over the Chicago Bears this past Sunday. The final score was 25-20. This was not the prettiest victory for the Eagles , but they got the job the done. This article will give a full recap of the Philadelphia Eagles Week 15 game against the Chicago Bears.
The Eagles did not play their best game on offense. Jalen Hurts threw two interceptions, which is unusual for this Eagles team. Hurts had only thrown three interceptions on the season before this game. However, he did bounce back, which is what great quarterbacks do. He threw for over 300 yards and had three rushing touchdowns, which basically won the Eagles the game. Hurts suffered a sprained shoulder, which leaves him questionable for the huge NFC East showdown against the Dallas Cowboys. There were also some questionable aspects of this game for the Eagles.
