The Chicago Bears defeated the Philadelphia Eagles on Black Friday, where Chicago got contributions all over the board on both sides of the ball.
The biggest X-factor in the victory was Chicago's rushing attack, which totaled 281 yards on the ground with both D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai surpassing 100 yards rushing. They became the first Bears duo to both rush for 100 yards since Walter Payton and Matt Suhey in 1985.

Following the victory, Swift called it a team win, praising every level of the Bears.
"Team win, in all three phases," Swift said, via Marquee Sports Network. "We did what we needed to do. It's an amazing feeling, full circle moment. Coming back home, seeing family, and playing at the highest level. Nothing but God (to thank)."
Swift has become quite the weapon in Ben Johnson's offense, as the two reunited this season from their time together with the Detroit Lions. Between the defense's two takeaways, the Bears rushing attack, which Swift played a huge part in, and special teams, Chicago got their signature win of the season by defeating Philadelphia.
