Bears rally to down Eagles

PHILADELPHIA – Chicago slammed the brakes on Philadelphia's recent revival with a 30-24 road win Monday that sent the Eagles to 3-5 on the season and kept the Bears in touch in the NFC North.
After starting the season 1-4, Michael Vick's Eagles came into the game having won two in a row and looked like making it three after building a 24-17 lead in the third quarter. However, the Bears rallied with 13 unanswered points, shutting down Philadelphia's high-octane offense when it mattered.
Quarterback Jay Cutler, who finished with 208 passing yards and two touchdowns, drove Chicago for a field goal at the end of the third quarter and then tossed a five-yard touchdown pass to Earl Bennett on his team's next possession to put them ahead.
Chicago's Robbie Gould kicked his third field goal of the game with 4:01 left to make it 30-24 and the Bears defense halted the Eagles on their next drive to seal the win.
Chicago (5-3) won their third in a row to avoid falling further behind the undefeated Green Bay Packers (8-0) and second-place Detroit Lions (6-2) in their division.
Vick finished with 213 yards passing and 34 rushing but no touchdowns as Philadelphia fell three games behind NFC East leaders the New York Giants.
“We've dug a hole for ourselves and we have to dig our way out of it,” Vick said. “Tonight was a big game for us. We had a chance to win and we let it slip away.”
The Bears jumped out to a 10-0 lead midway through the second quarter on Matt Spaeth's touchdown reception and a 51-yard field goal from Gould.
Philadelphia got on the board with Alex Henery's 47-yard kick and tied the game after recovering a Matt Forte fumble and returning it 22 yards for a touchdown.
Chicago then took advantage of a fumbled punt return by DeSean Jackson deep in Eagles' territory with Marion Barber scoring on a two-yard run just before half-time to give the Bears a 17-10 lead.
Philadelphia started the second half with touchdowns on their first two possessions, Ronnie Brown and LeSean McCoy rushing into the end zone to put the Eagles 24-17 ahead.
McCoy gained 71 yards on the ground while Forte had two costly fumbles but finished with 133 yards rushing. Bears receiver Bennett, who has missed most of the season with a chest injury, finished with five catches for 95 yards and a touchdown.
