Bears defeat Eagles 27-7 in Monday Night Football showdown
Chicago overcame Philadelphia 27-7 on Monday night, with quarterback Case Keenum leading a balanced attack while the Eagles struggled on both offense and defense.
The Chicago Bears beat the Philadelphia Eagles 27-7 in a Monday Night Football game on Week 3. The Bears opened the scoring on their first drive, with quarterback Case Keenum completing an 11-play series that resulted in a touchdown. Chicago added a field goal before halftime, and a 41-yard pass to Kalif Raymond extended the lead early in the third quarter, followed by a 48-yard field goal. The Eagles managed only a single touchdown, a quarterback sneak by Jalen Hurts in the second half, after a late-half drive.
Chicago’s offense controlled the clock, running 13 plays on a scoring drive that consumed more than eight minutes. The Bears’ defense limited Philadelphia’s run game, a weakness the Eagles had struggled to address in the previous season. Veteran quarterback Keenum, who had not played a regular-season game since December 2023, appeared effective despite limited preparation time.
Philadelphia’s offense was hampered by penalties and an inability to sustain drives, while the Bears continued to capitalize on scoring opportunities throughout the game.
