Game ball, three stars, and snap count analysis: Week 3, Eagles at Bears

Key Points:

• The Philadelphia Eagles struggled offensively and defensively in their Week 3 loss to the Chicago Bears, with only 50 offensive snaps and 72 defensive snaps played. Quarterback Jalen Hurts had an off game, completing 16 of 25 passes for 153 yards with no touchdowns and one interception.
• Running back Saquon Barkley was a bright spot, rushing 15 times for 82 yards and showing good explosiveness, though a holding penalty negated a big run. Backup running back Tank Bigsby fumbled early and saw limited action afterward.
• Wide receiver DeVonta Smith led the receiving corps with 6 catches for 65 yards despite facing heavy defensive attention, while tight end Zach Ertz was limited and had only one catch.
• The offensive line showed some improvement in run blocking, particularly from Drew Kendall, but the guard positions remain problematic, with Cam Jurgens underperforming compared to his previous Pro Bowl level.
• Defensively, the Eagles' pass rush has been ineffective with only three sacks on the season, and the interior defensive line has not met expectations. The secondary struggled with missed tackles and coverage, especially safeties Marcus Epps and Andrew Mukuba, contributing to the team's defensive woes.
