Can the Philadelphia Eagles reach 3-0?
In order to remain undefeated, the Birds will have to beat a Chicago Bears team that bullied them in Philly last year. This time, the matchup will take place in the confines of Soldier Field.
It’ll be interesting to see how the Eagles’ defense fares after Bears head coach Ben Johnson got the better of Vic Fangio in 2025.
Jalen Hurts and company should have opportunities to score against this Chicago defense. It’d be nice for the Eagles to have some more early down success so that they’re not relying on their quarterback to bail them out on three-and-long over and over.

FIRST QUARTER
The Eagles won the coin toss and elected to defer, per usual. The Eagles had Braden Mann as a 12th man on the field for kickoff once again, this time holding the ball on a tee after that was a point of discussion coming out of Week 2.
The Bears started at their own 32-yard line. Marcus Epps immediately missed a tackle on the first play from scrimmage. The Bears quickly picked up a first down with a tight end screen. Two straight passes before the Bears’ first running play. Then another Case Keenum completion for a first down into plus territory. The Bears went with a toss to old friend D’Andre Swift to set up 2nd-and-1. Another Keenum completion for another first down … before expedited review revealed the ball hit the ground between Cole Kmet’s legs. Facing 3rd-and-1, the Bears’ run was stopped short of the marker. But then Keenum found a wide open Sam Roush on fourth down for an easy first down. Ben Johnson in his bag early.
