Preview for Philadelphia Eagles @ Chicago Bears
Monday Night Football sees unbeaten 2025 Super Bowl winners the Philadelphia Eagles travel to take on the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field.
The Eagles have impressed in the early stages of the NFL season, claiming narrow wins over Washington and Tennessee so far.
The Bears puit 59 points on the Carolina Panthers in week one before losing 9-3 to the Minnesota Vikings last week in an increidbly low-scoring affair.
Worse than the drab scoreline was the injury suffered by quarterback Caleb Williams. Williams has a hamstring strain that will keep him out for at least a month.
It’s a major blow to the Bears who reached the Divisional Round of the play-offs a year ago.
“Well it’s opportunity is the way I see it,” coach Ben Johnson said. “I think our guys see it as that as well.
“One of those things that everyone outside of the building I’m sure is writing us off and telling us it can’t be done and we really relish that and so guys will step up to the plate.
“Guys that maybe we don’t anticipate or expect. We have a really talented team and it’s been that way. I’ve been saying that in the spring. I’ve been saying that throughout camp. We have high expectations for where this year can go for us and so we’re going to continue to get better.”
To make matters worse for the Bears, backup quarterback Tyson Bagent is out with concussion so Case Keenum is expected to start on Monday.
The Eagles will be hoping that running back Saquon Barkley is back to his best after his own injury problems last week.
Barkley hurt his neck after being tackled and played just 10 snaps.
“I’ve had a history of [stingers] before. This is the first bad one I had in a long time,” Barkley said. “It’s also like a wake-up call to me. I’ve been super active focusing on my lower body and longevity of my career.
“I probably wasn’t as great as I needed to be with my neck stability and strengthening my neck. So it’s putting that within my routine and having that as part of my process and kind of the same way I attack everything from head to toe, do the same thing with my neck.
“It’s good to have an MRI knowing it’s nothing, hopefully, God willing, where I worry about my career and I can just go out there and play free.”
Prediction for Philadelphia Eagles @ Chicago Bears
Chicago’s problems at QB make this a hard one to call but it’s hard to make a case for them causing the first defeat of the Eagles’ season.
Prediction: Philadelphia Eagles 32-14 Chicago Bears
