PHILADELPHIA - Knowing they have everything to play for next week, the
Philadelphia Eagles never let up against a team with plenty on the line.

Jerseys China . Nick Foles threw two touchdown passes, LeSean McCoy
ran for two scores and the Eagles routed the Chicago Bears 54-11 on Sunday night
in a matchup of first-place teams with opposite stakes. Instead of resting his
starters for a winner-take-all game at Dallas next Sunday night, Chip Kelly
didnt pull them until they finished whipping the Bears. "Were from Philadelphia
and we fight," Kelly said. "If theres a game on, were playing." Chicagos loss
sets up two win-or-go-home games for NFC division crowns next week. The Bears
(8-7) came in needing a win to clinch the NFC North and secure the No. 3 seed
while Philadelphia was just trying to stay healthy. But the Eagles (9-6) played
like the team trying to lock up a playoff berth. Now, the Bears must tie or beat
the Packers (7-7-1) at home next week to win the North. "We knew what was at
stake and the opportunity we had and we didnt get it done," Bears coach Marc
Trestman said. The Eagles (9-6) have to tie or beat the Cowboys (8-7) at Dallas
next Sunday night to win the NFC East and complete a worst-to-first season under
their rookie coach. Once Dallas rallied to beat Washington earlier in the day,
the Eagles knew they were only playing for a No. 3 seed, that is, if they win
the division. Still, Kelly played all his guys. "This is our job. They pay us to
play ball," McCoy said. "The fans pay their hard-earned money to watch. As a
player, we never think a game is meaningless." Foles was 21 of 25 for 230 yards,
and set a franchise record with a completion percentage of 84.0. In only nine
starts, Foles has 25 TD passes and two interceptions. He was replaced by
Michael Vick midway through the fourth quarter. By that time, fans were
chanting: "We want Dallas!" "The playoffs start one week early," Kelly said.
"Thats how we approach it." McCoy, trying to become the first Eagles player to
lead the NFL in rushing since Hall of Famer Steve Van Buren in 1949, ran for 133
yards and leads Kansas Citys Jamaal Charles by 189 going into the last game.
Bryce Brown had 115 yards rushing, including a 65-yard TD run. The Eagles
dominated from the start. Trent Cole sacked Jay Cutler to force a three-and-out
on Chicagos first possession, and the Eagles went right down the field and
scored when Foles hit Riley Cooper going across the back of the end zone on a
5-yard pass. Bradley Fletcher then forced Devin Hester to fumble after a 36-yard
kickoff return and Cary Williams recovered at the Bears 39. Foles connected with
Zach Ertz for 27 yards and McCoy ran in from the 1 to make it 14-0. Foles tossed
a 10-yard TD pass to Brent Celek to make it 21-0 in the first. "It was fun to
play," Foles said. "Thats what I cherish. I dont care about records."
Cedric Thornton tackled Matt Forte in the end zone for a safety and a 26-3 lead
in the third quarter. McCoy ran in from the 1 to make it 33-3. Chris Polk had a
10-yard TD run in the fourth quarter and Brandon Boykin returned an interception
54 yards for a score to make it 47-11. Chicagos only TD came when Cutler threw a
6-yard pass to Brandon Marshall on the final play of the third quarter. "I
thought we had a good game plan," Cutler said. "We had good practices this week.
Obviously we didnt play like it." Bears seven-time Pro Bowl linebacker
Lance Briggs returned to the lineup after missing seven games because of a
fractured shoulder. He wasnt much help. The Eagles racked up 514 yards. The
Bears had a chance to secure a division title because Green Bay lost to
Pittsburgh and the New York Giants eliminated Detroit from playoff contention.
NOTES: The Eagles had their 12th game of at least 400 yards of total offence.
... Cole had three of Philadelphias five sacks on Cutler, who hadnt gone down
more than three times in a game previously this season. ... Eagles S Earl Wolff
returned after missing four games with a knee injury, but left in the second
quarter. ... Bears FS Chris Conte left in the first quarter after sustaining a
concussion. ... The Cowboys beat the Eagles 17-3 in October.

-- Mike Smith never saw his first NHL goal go in.CHICAGO -- Record-setting
returner Devin Hester said Wednesday he will not be back with the Chicago Bears
next season. "From my knowledge, I know that Chicago wants to go a different
route with me," Hester told the NFL Network. "All I can say is thanks to the
fans for their support. Theyve always been great to me. Always been loyal. I
couldnt have played for a better city than those guys. At the end of my career,
I do want to retire as a member of the Bears." He added the Bears are "parting
ways" with him. The team declined comment. It looks as if Hester will hit the
open market as an unrestricted free agent after an eight-year run with the Bears
that produced no shortage of highlights. He matched Hall of Famer Deion Sanders
NFL record with his 19th return for a touchdown last season, tying his friend
and mentor with an 81-yard punt return at Washington in October. It was Hesters
13th punt return for a TD, extending his own record in that category. He has
also returned five kickoffs and one missed field goal for touchdowns. A
three-time Pro Bowl pick, Hester is best remembered by Bears fans for returning
the opening kickoff in the 2007 Super Bowl for a touchdown. He ran it back 92
yards for a score in a game the Bears went on to lose to Indianapolis. Hester
endured several lulls on returns during his career, particularly when the Bears
tried to make him a receiver. But he showed some of his old form while focusing
solely on returns last season. His touchdown return against Washington was his
first in nearly two years.
Wholesale NHL Jerseys Online. Hester led the
NFL with a career-high 1,436 kick return yards on a league-high 52 tries, and he
returned five kickoffs for a team-record 249 yards against Minnesota in
September. Now, it looks like hes moving on. Hester expressed interest in
reuniting with former coach Lovie Smith in Tampa Bay. "I look at Lovie as my
number one coach right now because hes the one that took a chance on me coming
out of the draft," Hester said. "He has all my respect so if hes a guy that is
going to shoot at me and want me to come play with him again, my arms are open."
The news from Hester comes on the same day the Bears terminated the contract of
punter Adam Podlesh and signed defensive tackle Jeremiah Ratliff to a two-year
deal. A four-time Pro Bowl pick, Ratliff started four of the five games he
played in after signing with Chicago in November. He spent the first six weeks
with Dallas on the physically unable to perform list before being released in
mid-October, with the Cowboys saying he failed a physical. Ratliff missed the
final six games in 2012 with a groin injury that required surgery. The Bears,
who had one of their worst defensive seasons ever, saw enough good things to
bring him back. Ratliff had 14 1/2 tackles and 1 1/2 sacks with Chicago. In nine
seasons with the Cowboys and Bears, he has 331 1/2 tackles and 28 1/2 sacks. The
Bears have signed 10 players who were due to become unrestricted free agents
March 11, most of any team in the NFL.
