Chicago Bears’ Nahshon Wright’s Tush Push Steal Secures 24-15 Win

UPDATE: In a stunning play, Chicago Bears cornerback Nahshon Wright snatched the ball from Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts during the notorious Tush Push, leading to a pivotal moment in the Bears’ 24-15 victory on November 28, 2025, at Lincoln Financial Field. This game-changing fumble recovery secured Wright’s third of the season and showcased his instincts in a critical situation.

As the Eagles prepared for their signature play late in the third quarter, Wright noted he hadn’t practiced for the Tush Push. “Honestly, I didn’t look at it at all,” he admitted. However, when Hurts took the snap, Wright saw an opening as the Eagles left him unblocked. “I just saw him holding the ball out with two hands,” Wright explained. He capitalized on the moment, ripping the football from Hurts’ grip, marking a turning point as the Bears led by just a slim margin of 10-9 at the time.

This pivotal fumble occurred at the Eagles’ 11-yard line and shifted momentum back to the Bears, who had been under pressure from the Eagles’ offense. “He went and got it,” praised Bears defensive tackle Grady Jarrett, highlighting Wright’s quick decision-making. The Bears’ defense, which forced two key turnovers against a team that had only six prior turnovers this season, proved to be the difference-maker.

Bears safety Kevin Byard III, who was positioned behind the play, described it as a “huge play.” He commended Wright for consistently making impactful contributions throughout the season. The Bears’ defense leads the NFL with 26 takeaways, and Byard himself has six interceptions, showcasing their dominance in forcing turnovers.

Following Wright’s fumble recovery, the Bears capitalized on the momentum. Offensive coordinator Ben Johnson immediately called a run for rookie back Kyle Monangai, who burst through the defense for a stunning 31-yard run. Monangai’s performance was key, as he racked up a game-high 130 rushing yards on 22 carries.

With the Eagles unable to regain control, Monangai pushed through for a 4-yard touchdown, extending the Bears’ lead to 8 points. Just minutes later, quarterback Caleb Williams threw a touchdown pass to tight end Cole Kmet, sealing the Bears’ statement win against the defending Super Bowl champions.

This victory, achieved in front of a worldwide audience, positions the Bears as serious contenders in the NFC, with implications for playoff seeding. As of now, they would be the No. 2 seed if the season ended today.

“We know what we’re capable of,” Wright said, emphasizing the team’s confidence. “We control our destiny.” After this impressive win, the Bears are certainly on the radar of the entire league, leaving fans and analysts alike buzzing with excitement.

With the Bears demonstrating resilience and tactical excellence, all eyes will be on their upcoming games as they continue to press forward in the competitive landscape of the NFL.
