Both Bryce Callahan and rookie Deiondre Hall broke up passes that could have been touchdowns, making the Eagles settle for field goals. Overall, Chicago’s secondary had some problems defending Wentz and the Eagles’ passing attack. The 190 passing yards by Wentz may not indicate that, but Philly’s no-huddle offense kept the Bears on their heels, and the Eagles’ rookie quarterback was accurate enough to keep his offense on the field, especially on their opening drive when Wentz completed eight of nine passes to take a 3-0 lead.
