The Philadelphia Eagles face the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football at Soldier Field. Last season, the Bears rushed for 281 yards against the Eagles, a key statistic as Philadelphia aims to improve its run defense. Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni acknowledged the past struggles but did not label the game a 'revenge match.' Expectations are high for an evolved Eagles running game and adjustments on defense, while Bears quarterback Case Keenum may step in if Caleb Williams and Tyler Bagent are unavailable due to injury. Weather conditions could affect game strategy, with temperatures expected around 70 degrees and a chance of rain.
