The Chicago Bears just might beat the Philadelphia Eagles. Almost just as impressively, they've already stopped the vaunted Tush Push.

In fact, they didn't just stop Jalen Hurts. They created a turnover off of it ... and flipped momentum in the Black Friday showdown of division leaders at Lincoln Financial Field.

The Bears have controlled this game with a physical running game, but the Eagles scored to close within 10-9 midway through the third quarter and then intercepted Caleb Williams on an attempted screen pass. But just as it appeared Philly was on the verge of scoring the go-ahead touchdown, here comes that man again for Chicago:

Nashson Wright.

On 3rd-and-1 at the Bears' 12-yard line, the Eagles set up for their trademark scrum play that has been virtually unstoppable for three seasons. Hurts took the handoff and dove forward into a mass of humanity. But, suddenly, Bears players began pointing in their direction and, sure enough, officials ruled that the Bears had recovered a fumble.

It took replays from a different angle to see that Wright worked his way into the pile and deftly pulled the ball out of Hurts' arms. He then fell onto the ball for a fumble recovery at the 13. The Bears capitalized on the takeaway by driving 87 yards in 12 plays and pushing the lead to 17-9 early in the fourth quarter on rookie Kyle Monangai's 4-yard scoring run.

It's time to ask a question no one even considered before the season: Where would the Bears be without Nahshon Wright? The cornerback produced his NFL-leading eighth takeaway: three fumble recoveries to go along with five interceptions.

The Bears have shockingly pushed their lead to 24-9 with around five minutes remaining.
