PHILADELPHIA — When not even the tush push is working , a lot must be going wrong for the Philadelphia Eagles .
The defending Super Bowl champions fell to the new-and-improved Chicago Bears , 24-15, in the third iteration of the NFL's "Black Friday" game .

Chicago punished the Eagles on the ground all afternoon and, in continuation of the troubling trend for Philadelphia, the Eagles' offense looked largely lost , save for a few plays.
Of course, results are never as simple as the final score. Here are the winners and losers from the Nov. 28 showcase.
WINNERS
D'Andre Swift, Kyle Monangai
Swift ran ferociously all game after Monangai set the tone early. Every time it looked like their run would find its natural end, there seemed to always be another cutback, another push available to the Bears ' backs. And take advantage of it they did.
A revenge game for Swift, the former Eagle, he ran 18 times for 125 yards and a touchdown. Monangai, a seventh-round rookie, had 22 carries for 130 yards and a score himself. There was nothing the Eagles could do to stop them, it seemed.
