Eagles-Bears preview: 5 things to watch

Key Points:

• The Philadelphia Eagles face a significant challenge against the Chicago Bears' top-ranked rushing offense, led by backs D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai, who combined for 316 rushing yards this season; the Eagles' run defense has struggled, allowing 127 yards per game and ranking 24th in the NFL.
• The Bears may be without their top two quarterbacks, Caleb Williams (hamstring strain) and Tyson Bagent (concussion), potentially starting 38-year-old backup Case Keenum, who has not played since 2023 and showed limited effectiveness in recent starts.
• The Bears' offensive line, while missing starting left tackle Ozzy Trapilo, remains strong with guards Thuney and Jackson and star run blocker Wright, posing the toughest test yet for the Eagles' offensive line, which has struggled in the first two games.
• The Eagles' top receivers, DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks, have performed well this season, contrasting with the Bears' cornerbacks Jaylon Johnson and Tyrique Stevenson, who have allowed a high opposing passer rating and multiple missed tackles.
• The Eagles' interior offensive line has underperformed due to injuries and tough matchups but may find improvement against a Bears defensive line lacking elite interior pass rushers, a key factor for the Eagles' Super Bowl aspirations.
