Eagles

The Philadelphia Eagles will wear their white jerseys against the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football.

With anticipation of the Eagles meeting with the Bears building rapidly, here’s a look at how the teams match up against each other.

Carson Wentz was named the NFL Rookie of the Week for Week 1, as voted on by the fans.

Eagles offensive coordinator Frank Reich was hesitant to compare Carson Wentz to any quarterback in particular, but after making it clear that the rookie wants to “blaze his own trail,” he referenced two gunslingers that Wentz reminds him of, including one Hall of Famer.

Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler is known for being a quarterback with happy feet, quick to move out of the pocket and has an aversion to being hit. Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz will need to bring consistent pressure to keep Cutler frantic and not allow him time to find star receiver Alshon Jeffery.

Last Sunday answered a lot of questions for the Eagles. First and foremost, make no mistake about it, the Philadelphia Eagles has found their quarterback in Carson Wentz.

Carson Wentz credited the Eagles offensive line and his college experience to his success against the blitz in his debut against Cleveland last Sunday.

After a few days to digest the season-opening win against the Browns, Pederson took to the podium on Thursday to discuss their upcoming primetime matchup against the Chicago Bears. To no surprise, the main topic at the press conference quickly became Carson Wentz and the pandemonium surrounding his efficient NFL debut.

Throughout the early part of the game against the Browns in Week 1, Jalen Mills was on the sidelines taking in mental reps. When his number was called after Leodis McKelvin left the contest with a hamstring injury, his preparation paid off and appears ready to jump into the spotlight going into Week 2 on the Monday Night Football stage against the Chicago Bears.
