Bears roll to statement win over Eagles: 'We're for real'

PHILADELPHIA -- The Chicago Bears are finally ready to start thinking about the postseason.

Friday's 24-15 win over the reigning Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field went a long way toward legitimizing the run Chicago has experienced in its first 12 games under Ben Johnson. The Bears have won nine of their past 10 games and move to the No. 2 seed in the NFC, the position previously held by the Eagles.

Like the Bears, the Eagles entered Week 13 in first place in their division and with an identical record.
