Eagles vs. Bears, Week 3, Live Updates: Chicago scores TD on dominant opening drive

· Yahoo Sports

CHICAGO — Greetings from the press box at Soldier Field, where the Philadelphia Eagles will battle the Chicago Bears on “Monday Night Football.”

Jalen Hurts and the Eagles are 2-0 after wins over the Commanders and Titans to open the season.

The Bears, meanwhile, are 1-1. They hung 59 points on the Panthers in Week 1 but lost to the Vikings, 9-3, in Week 2.

Chicago will be without quarterback Caleb Williams, who injured his hamstring last week. And with backup Tyson Bagent coming back from a concussion, the Bears will start 38-year-old third-stringer Case Keenum.

The Eagles have a favorable history against Keenum. We’ll see if they can get to the veteran and defend the run better than they did in last year’s Black Friday loss to the Bears.

Zach Ertz is back. Jonathan Greenard is set to make his Eagles debut. Plenty to keep an eye on tonight.

Stay here for updates throughout the game from Chicago.

FIRST QUARTER

8:47 — Bears 7, Eagles 0

That was a less than ideal start for the Eagles’ defense — and a masterful opening drive by Bears head coach and play-caller Ben Johnson.

Chicago’s misdirection and run game cooked Vic Fangio’s unit, marching on an 11-play, 66-yard touchdown drive.

Reminiscent of last year’s Black Friday blitz by the Bears.
