Philadelphia Eagles crush Chicago Bears

The Philadelphia Eagles have gone 9-6 in the NFC East with a 54-11 victory over the Chicago Bears at Lincoln Financial Field.

The Eagles took the lead when Nick Foles threaded a five-yard pass through to Riley Cooper, before Lesean McCoy rushed the endzone from two yards to put them further ahead after Bradley Fletcher stripped Devin Hester from the kickoff.

Brent Celek took another pass from Foles to help the home side open up a sizable advantage, before Alex Henery's 49-yard field goal saw them record 24 unanswered points.

However, that run came to an end when Robbie Gould split the posts from 50 yards out just before the break.

The Eagles added two more points to their total when Cedric Thornton brought down Matt Forte in his own endzone for the safety, and then Lesean McCoy powered through the Bears' defense for a two-yard score.

Marc Trestman's side threatened an unlikely comeback when Brandon Marshall touched down from Jay Cutler's pass, with the quarterback then finding Earl Bennett for the two-point conversion.

Touchdowns from Chris Polk, Brandon Boykin and Bryce Brown finished the Bears off, although they remain top of the NFC North on 8-7.
