Eagles, Chicago Bears and Black Friday
Digest more
Before that, the Bears defeated the Cleveland Rams on Friday, Sept. 15, 1939, under the lights at Soldier Field in the season opener. It was a rare night game in Chicago for the Bears, who typically played at Wrigley Field, which had no lights back then.
The Chicago Bears have been one of the surprise teams in the NFL this season, and they continued their ascent on "Black Friday" with a 24-15 win on the road against the Philadelphia Eagles. This victory pushes Caleb Williams and Co. to 9-3 on the season, which helps them leapfrog the now 8-4 Eagles for the No. 2 seed in the NFC.
