Not only will the Week 2 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles be a Monday night game, but it will also be the Bears’ first home game of the season. In recent history, Soldier Field hasn’t treated Chicago well. In 2014 and 2015, the Bears’ home record was 2-6 and 1-7 respectively. During this span, the Eagles had a .500 winning percentage on the road. This game could easily show just how Chicago will defend their home turf for the 2016 season.
