PHILADELPHIA — The Bears bullied the defending Super Bowl champion Eagles into submission in a 24-15 victory Friday that stands as the most profound statement by the franchise in this decade.
They did so behind the legs of running backs D’Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai, who ran behind a phalanx of blockers that opened up seams so dramatically and consistently that quarterback Caleb Williams said he would hand the ball off and cheer his offensive line ‘‘like a little kid.’’
Swift and Monangai became the first pair of Bears teammates to run for 100 yards or more in the same game since 1985.
