The 2025 Super Bowl winners have got their eagle eyes locked on a return date at the SoFi Stadium next February, and they've started their latest campaign in the best way possible with Jalen Hurts already throwing for more than 550 yards in two tight wins over the Commanders and Titans. The latter, however, may have taken its toll on the Eagles roster, having taken place in Nashville's draining turf temperature 157F heat.
Nick Sirianni and Vic Fangio will do well to pay all due respect to the Bears' potent offense, despite Chicago losing a war of attrition to the Vikings last Sunday. Quarterback Caleb Williams and rushers Kyle Monangai and D’Andre Swift danced their way to 289 scrambling yards and six touchdowns in a 59-37 mauling of the Carolina Panthers in Week 1, but Williams hamstring injury in the fourth quarter agaisnt the Vikings is a huge blow. Backup quarterback Tyson Bagent is in concussion protocol, so veteran Case Keenum may be an emergency option.
In this fixture last year, Chicago managed to finally end a 15-year losing streak in Philadelphia, with Monangai and Swift rushing in 255 yards and two touchdowns between them on Black Friday. Can the Bears make prey of the Eagles once again? See how to watch the Eagles vs Bears Week 3 MNF game online and on TV.
