The Chicago Bears are gearing up for a prime-time showdown against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football, where Chicago is looking to bounce back after a brutal day in Week 2.
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. To make matters worse, quarterback Caleb Williams suffered a hamstring injury that's expected to keep him out for a little bit. But the defense did have a nice bounce-back outing after an abysmal showing in the season opener.
Meanwhile, the Eagles are coming
off a close 24-20 win over the winless Tennessee Titans, where quarterback Jalen Hurts threw a last-second touchdown to receiver Darius Cooper with nine seconds left. Philadelphia got a challenge from Tennessee, whose defense was able to get after Hurts to the tune of three sacks and two interceptions. But the Eagles were able to outlast the Titans in the end.
Following the loss of Williams, this is another key conference game for the Bears, who are looking to remain above .500 and bounce back after a rough loss in Week 2. But what do oddsmakers think about this NFC battle in prime time?
