PHILADELPHIA _ The Bears dug themselves in too deep a hole Sunday in a 22-14 loss to the Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field.
The Bears gained only 9 yards on offense in the first half and fell behind 19-0 at the beginning of the third quarter. That was too much to overcome despite a better second-half effort as the Bears' losing streak reached four games.
Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky led scoring drives on two of the first three drives of the second half, with both touchdowns coming on 1-yard runs from David Montgomery.
But the Bears stalled early on their fourth drive and the Eagles kept the game out of reach.
The Eagles converted four third downs on their final drive, all on passes from Carson Wentz. The last was a 16-yard pass from Wentz to Dallas Goedert up the middle to get to the 28-yard line. Eagles kicker Jake Elliott followed with a 38-yard field goal to give the Eagles an eight-point lead.
The Bears had 23 seconds to try to tie the game but Adam Shaheen muffed the kickoff. The Eagles recovered for the win.
