The Chicago Bears will face the Philadelphia Eagles in a prime-time showdown on Monday night, where Chicago is looking to bounce back after a tough Week 2 that included the loss of quarterback Caleb Williams, who suffered a hamstring injury.
The Bears are coming off a brutal 9-3 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, where Chicago's offensive production dropped from 59 points in Week 1 to a single field goal in Week 2. Ben Johnson was out-coached by Brian Flores and the players continued to commit self-inflicted mistakes that cost them in a close game. But the defense did have a nice bounce-back outing after an abysmal showing in the season opener.
The Bears are home underdogs against the Eagles. But what do the experts think? Here's a look:
