In a closely contested matchup, the Chicago Bears topped the Jacksonville Jaguars 25-17 in Week 13 of the 2026 season. With playoff implications hanging in the balance, both teams were looking to solidify their positions, but it was the Bears who emerged victorious on their home turf. Chicago's offense was led by Josh Jacobs, who rushed for 67 yards, providing a steady ground game that complemented their passing attack. On the other side, Justin Herbert showcased his skills for the Jaguars, throwing for 205 yards and two touchdowns, with Germie Bernard making a significant impact as he racked up 120 receiving yards. However, it was not enough to overcome the Bears' offensive efforts. Defensively, the Bears made pivotal plays that shaped the outcome of the game.
