The 33 points marked the third consecutive game in which the Bears scored at least 30 points, a streak that last occurred in 2013, while the team also had 20 first-half points for the third game in a row, a first since 1967. The offense recorded 199 rushing yards on 42 attempts, both the most under Nagy, while Montgomery's 32 carries for 146 yards were career highs; Montgomery also became the first Bears player to reach 100 rushing yards in consecutive games since Jordan Howard in 2016. Mooney had four catches in the game to reach 46 receptions on the year, surpassing Harlon Hill in 1954 for the most by a rookie in franchise history.
This is a well-timed test for Justin Fields and the Bears offense to measure how much progress they have made. Unfortunately, the Eagles defense may be too talented, too deep and too opportunistic. And the Bears’ struggling defense will be overmatched against the league’s highest scoring team. Tight end Dallas Goedert hasn’t played since Week 10 because of a shoulder injury.
Chicago Bears 2020 schedule: Home, road opponents set for next season
After the Packers punted again, the Bears' next offensive series saw them convert two fourth-and-one situations before Mooney got hurt and a third attempt to make a fourth-and-one at the Packers' 25 resulted in a turnover on downs. Green Bay scored again on a four-yard touchdown run by Aaron Jones, followed by Trubisky being intercepted by Adrian Amos to set up Rodgers' six-yard touchdown to Adams. Down 35–16, the Bears reached the Packers' four-yard line but failed to score as their regular season ended with an 8–8 record. Both teams scored on their opening driver as Aldrick Rosas kicked a 26-yard field goal for Jacksonville and Trubisky threw a five-yard touchdown pass to Graham for Chicago.
With the Bears having converted just one of seven third-down situations, Trubisky was replaced by Foles for the remainder of the game. After a 36-yard field goal by Koo, Foles' end zone throw to Robinson was simultaneously caught by Darqueze Dennard and ruled an interception. Following two punts and a missed 48-yard kick by Koo to begin the fourth quarter, Foles' potential 17-yard score to Miller hit the ground on fourth down, resulting in a turnover. Foles and the Bears would score 20 unanswered points as he completed touchdown throws to Graham (three yards, but failed the two-point conversion), Robinson , and Miller . A final drive by the Falcons ended at the Bears' 44-yard line when Ryan overthrew a pass and was intercepted by Tashaun Gipson to complete the 30–26 comeback. The two teams traded punts to begin the game; after the Bears turned the ball over on downs in Lions territory, Matt Prater and Santos exchanged field goals of 27 and 35 yards, respectively.

An exchange of punts led to Sam Sloman's 22-yard kick that made the score 10–3 in Los Angeles' favor at halftime. The Rams punted to start the second half, but the Bears did the same after starting their ensuing series on their own one-yard line; Foles missed an open Mooney on third down after facing pressure from Jachai Polite. Although Chicago reached Los Angeles' nine-yard line on the following drive, Foles' pass to Mooney was tipped by Troy Hill and intercepted by Taylor Rapp, which the Rams capitalized on with a 12-yard touchdown throw from Goff to Gerald Everett.
The Bears attempted to respond on a trick play in which Montgomery took the snap from the Wildcat formation and handed off to Patterson, who pitched to Trubisky; Trubisky threw to Wims, who dropped the potential score in the end zone. The Saints' ensuing drive saw Shelley intercept Brees' pass before it was overturned, though Lutz missed a 50-yard field goal. After the Bears punted again, Taysom Hill was hit by Tashaun Gipson as he threw the ball, which Jenkins caught.

After the Jaguars punted, the Bears reached the opposing one-yard line but failed to score a touchdown, forcing them to settle for Santos' second-quarter 20-yard field goal. Jacksonville responded with a 70-yard drive that ended on Glennon's 20-yard touchdown throw to D. With 24 seconds remaining in the first half, the Bears reached the Jaguars' 13 but Trubisky was intercepted by Joe Schobert, though Glennon also threw an interception to Smith that led to Santos' 40-yard kick to give the Bears the 13–10 halftime lead.

Robinson's 123 receiving yards elevated him past 1,000 yards on the season for the second straight year. In addition to going winless in November for the third time in the last five years, the loss marked the Bears' seventh consecutive season in which they lost a game coming off their bye week. The Bears' 41 points allowed were the most since a 41–21 defeat in 2016 to the Washington Redskins. Trubisky had a passer rating of 74.7, three touchdowns, two interceptions, and a lost fumble in his first game back as the starter. The defense struggled against the Packers offense, allowing Green Bay to convert all but one third down attempt in the first half and allowed them to convert all four red zone attempts despite being the best defenses in the red zone. Despite playing against the NFL's worst-ranked defense in third-down situations, the Bears converted just 13.3 percent of plays on such downs and failed to reach the red zone until the fourth quarter.
With the game having entered garbage time, Foles substituted for Trubisky to close out the 41–17 win. The two teams traded punts to begin the game, followed by touchdown passes from Trubisky and Cousins to Mooney and Thielen , After Santos' 42-yard field goal gave the Bears the lead, Cousins was sacked by Quinn for the latter's first sack since Week 2. The Vikings punted and the Bears drove 76 yards en route to Montgomery's one-yard touchdown run. On Minnesota's next drive, Cook was stopped by Jenkins and Nichols on fourth down, resulting in a turnover on downs at the Vikings' 34-yard line.
Injury Update Bears quarterback Justin Fields and running back David Montgomery, who each missed a practice with an illness this week, were full participants Friday and have no injury designation for Sunday's game. “But they run the ball well, they have big plays in the passing game, they have three complete wide receivers, the quarterback is outstanding. Yeah, (they’re) the most complete team in the NFL, so we have our hands full. While the Bears’ team leader in sacks is safety Jaquan Brisker with three, the Eagles have five players with six or more, led by linebacker Haason Reddick’s 10. That pressure has helped force opposing quarterbacks into a league-leading 15 interceptions.
Days before the game, Lamar Miller was signed off the practice squad by the Washington Football Team; Miller's lone game in Chicago was against the Vikings in Week 10. Skrine was once again inactive as he remained out with a concussion, while Johnson and Bush respectively hurt their shoulder and foot against Houston and missed the game; the injuries prompted the Bears to elevate Xavier Crawford from the practice squad. Besides snapping a six-game losing streak, the victory was the Bears' largest since a 41–9 win over the Buffalo Bills in 2018. The defense recorded a season-high seven sacks, while the offense produced four touchdowns and 410 yards. Trubisky completed 24 of 33 passes for 267 yards and three touchdowns, resulting in a season-best passer rating of 126.7, while Montgomery's 113 rushing yards and 155 total yards were his most in 2020.
