The Chicago Bears and Philadelphia Eagles started off their seasons with tallies in opposite columns. The Eagles trounced the lowly Cleveland Browns and the Bears lost on the road to the Houston Texans. After this game concludes, the two teams will have identical records.

The Bears offense will look much improved from last week. Alshon Jeffery will have another good game, as will Eddie Royal. We will see Ka’Deem Carey and Jordan Howard both get carries this week, Langford will still get the vast majority, but we will start to see a little more of a committee, and most importantly we will see improved protection of Jay Cutler.

Defensively, the Bears will continue to take steps in the right direction. They will get more pressure on Wentz than they did on Osweiler and that will rattle the rookie enough to have his performance drop. The Bears will surrender a late touchdown to the Eagles that will make this game look closer than it actually was. The Bears should hold a 7-10 point lead for most of the game, but the late score will make this game look rather close.

Final Score- Chicago Bears 27, Philadelphia Eagles 24
