After losing to the Cowboys in Dallas, the Eagles had a short week to respond against the Chicago Bears at home on Black Friday.

And they suffered an embarrassing loss.

The Eagles lost 24-15 to the Bears in a game that wasn’t really that close. Their offense looked completely lost and their defense was gashed on the ground.

Let’s get to the grades:

Quarterback

Jalen Hurts: 19/34, 230 yards, 2 TDs, 1 INT; 4 rushing attempts, 31 yards

It was another rough game for Hurts, who has had a few since the bye week. On Friday, he missed several important throws, a couple of which were targets for DeVonta Smith. Sure, it was windy, but those are throws you want to see the quarterback make. He also had two costly turnovers. One was an interception from former Eagles safety Kevin Byard and the other was a fumble on the Tush Push. For an offense that is stuck in the mud right now, they simply can’t afford to turn the ball over. Hurts did get A.J. Brown going in this game and had some success as a runner, but it very clearly wasn’t his best game. He’s probably not the biggest problem with the offense right now but you’d obviously like to see the franchise quarterback have a better performance in a big spot.

Grade: D

Running back

Saquon Barkley: 13 carries, 56 yards (4.3)

It looked like it was going to be a good day for Barkley early. In the first quarter, he had 3 carries for 19 yards but then things got more difficult. The Bears entered Friday with one of the NFL’s worst rushing defenses and they were down their top three linebackers. So it seemed like the perfect opportunity for Barkley and the run game to break out and they failed. Tank Bigsby barely played and didn’t get a single carry in this game despite giving the offense some juice in recent weeks.

Grade: C-

Receiver

A.J. Brown: 10 catches on 12 targets, 132 yards, 2 TDs

The good news is that Brown has started to look like himself in recent weeks. The bad news is that it hasn’t been a magical fix for the offense. Brown’s first touchdown was a beautiful 33-yard grab in 1-on-1 coverage, where he came back to the ball and then muscled his way into the end zone. This was Brown’s biggest game of the 2025 season. DeVonta Smith battled through a couple injuries and an illness to play in this game and had 5 catches on 8 targets for 48 yards. He and Hurts failed to connect a few times. The only other receiver to get a target was Jahan Dotson, who had 1 catch on 3 targets for 12 yards.

Grade: B

Tight end

Dallas Goedert: 2 catches on 4 targets for 27 yards

Like we mentioned, the Bears were without their top three linebackers so it might have made sense to get Goedert more involved. That didn’t really happen. In fact, until he made a 22-yard grab with under a minute left, Goedert had just 1 catch for 5 yards on Friday.

Grade: C-

Offensive line

It looked like the Eagles were going to be able to get their run game going on Friday and then it evaporated. This offensive line is just simply not as dominant as they once were and it’s really hurting the overall offensive play. The line isn’t healthy and made a few mistakes on Friday. At least Hurts wasn’t sacked in this game.

Grade: D+

Defensive line

Jalen Carter: 4 tackles, 1 sack, 2 TFLs, 2 PD

The Eagles were gashed in the run game and that starts up front. The defensive line was constantly being moved by the Bears’ offensive line. The Bears had 281 yards on the ground as both D’Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai went over 100 yards. They managed to sack Caleb Williams just twice. The line hasn’t been able to get the type of consistent pressure the Eagles would probably like to see. The D-line does get a bump thanks to that interception from Jalyx Hunt. That should have been a huge play in this game but Hurts fumbled on a Tush Push on the ensuing drive.

Grade: D+

Linebacker

Nakobe Dean: 12 tackles, 1 PD

Run defense is a group effort so every level of the Eagles’ defense deserves plenty of blame. The Eagles were taking plenty of bad angles to the football in this game and missed a bunch of tackles. The Bears had 177 yards after contact on the ground, per NextGen Stats. Jihaad Campbell didn’t see much time as Zack Baun and Dean played the whole game. The entire Eagles defense was bullied and the linebackers were not excluded.

Grade: D

Secondary

Reed Blankenship: 12 tackles

Caleb Williams completed just 17 of 36 passes for 154 yards. But the Bears rushed for 281 yards so does it really matter? The Eagles’ secondary didn’t give up much through the air in windy conditions but they also played the role in the failure of the run defense. Sydney Brown got the start in place of the injured Drew Mukuba and had some rough moments. Reed Blankenship was in coverage on the game’s dagger — a 28-yard touchdown to Cole Kmet.

Grade: C-

Special teams

Jake Elliott: 1/2 on FGs, 0/1 on PATs

You can probably forgive Elliott for missing that 52-yarder late in the fourth quarter but his missed PAT in the third quarter ended up haunting the Eagles as they had to hunt for points the rest of the way. Braden Mann had 5 punts with an average of 49.0 with a touchback and one downed inside the 20. Britain Covey took over as the punt returner and had 1 for 9 yards and a fair catch.

Grade: C-

Coaching

Record: 8-4

Kevin Patullo isn’t the only problem with the Eagles’ offense but part of being in that position is being a lighting rod. And it’s probably time for Nick Sirianni to make a change because the offense is just completely out of sync right now. But Sirianni deserves plenty of blame too. This is a team that looked pretty flat after blowing a game in Dallas. Vic Fangio has been great during his time in Philly but his defense got pushed around and out-schemed by Ben Johnson’s Bears offense. The Eagles were clearly out-coached in this game.

Grade: F
