A tough challenge for the Chicago Bears this week, as they took on the league’s best record Philadelphia Eagles. With only one loss coming into the game, the Eagles showed out with their imposing defense throughout the afternoon. Although the Bears put up a great fight until the end, they fell short again today.
Although dual-threat, stud quarterback Justin Fields had an efficient day, he wasn’t given many opportunities to make plays. Fields was sacked six times, and was constantly pressured. The offense lost breakout rookie offensive tackle Teven Jenkins to a scary neck injury early, and the rest of the offensive line struggled to stop the pass rush consistently. Running back David Montgomery had himself a great day, totaling 91 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns. Rookie wide receiver Velus Jones Jr. fell victim yet again to ball security issues, fumbling a drive away in the third quarter.
Despite losing rookie linebacker Jack Sanborn early to injury, the defense was able to limit the Eagles’ run game, with an exception of a long rushing touchdown. They held all Eagles’ running backs to 47 total rushing yards. They were also effective guarding the air attack until late, forcing an uncharacteristically inefficient game from the Eagles offense. Safety DeAndre Houston-Carson continued his great play with an interception, with rookie cornerback Kyler Gordon also coming up with an interception in his first game returning from injury. Defensive tackle Mike Pennel Jr. had his fingerprints on this game as well, forcing a fumble in the second half.
