November 23, 2009|By Paul Domowitch

RUSHING OFFENSE

LeSean McCoy shook off a near-fatal fumble and had a game-winning, 10-yard touchdown. He had a season-high 99 yards on 20 carries.

Grade: B-plus

PASSING OFFENSE

Donovan McNabb threw two TD passes, including a 48-yard bomb to DeSean Jackson. Completed 60-plus percent of his attempts for the third time in the last four games.

Story continues below.

Grade: B-plus

RUN DEFENSE

Gave up a 72-yard run to Kahlil Bell in the second quarter that set up a Bears field goal, but allowed just 54 yards on the other 19 rushing attempts.

Grade: B

PASS DEFENSE

Sean Jones came up with a game-clinching, fourth-quarter interception off a Tracy White deflection. Eagles held Jay Cutler to 3.97 yards per attempt.

Grade: B-plus

SPECIAL TEAMS

Eagles' kickoff-coverage unit struggled to contain Johnny Knox. Punter Sav Rocca had another shank. DeSean Jackson had a 53-yard punt return.

Grade: B-minus

OVERALL

The Eagles' three giveaways might have been fatal against a better offense. They converted two of three red-zone opportunities and three of their last four third-down chances to pull out a fourth-quarter win.

Grade: B-plus
