Eagles vs. Bears Game Preview: 5 questions and answers with the Week 3 enemy

Key Points:

• The Chicago Bears are likely to start either Tyson Bagent or Case Keenum at quarterback on Monday night, as Caleb Williams is expected to be out; Bagent is seen as a competent backup but not a starter, while Keenum is a wild card with mixed recent performances.
• The Bears lead the NFL in yards per rush due to a strong offensive line, particularly on the right side, combined with an effective scheme and improved running backs like D’Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai.
• Chicago's defense struggles due to a lack of talent, with key injuries in the secondary and disappointing performances from recent defensive line signings; the team may undergo a significant overhaul in 2027.
• The biggest matchup advantage for the Bears is their strong run blocking against the Eagles' struggling run defense, while the Eagles hold the edge in the offensive line versus the Bears' defensive line.
• The game prediction favors the Eagles 27-17, primarily because of the expected absence of Caleb Williams, with the Bears' offense unlikely to score enough points to win despite their strong rushing attack.
