Quick Take: Bears serve the Eagles a 50-Burger in a 50-32 shootout
Tommie Harris was all over Donovan McNabb to earn the NFL Defensive Player of the Week award
It was over when ...
Coach Smith went for a do-or-die play in the 3rd quarter. Instead of kicking a 48 yard field goal against the wind he decided to go for it on forth down. Matt Forte rushed for his second touchdown of the night to make it 31-20. The Bears capitalized from a poor defensive performance from the Eagles and made it a 50-Burger with Craig Steltz safety.
