Eagles vs. Bears: Live score updates, highlights, injury news

FIRST QUARTER

• The Eagles won the coin toss and elected to defer, per usual. The Eagles had Braden Mann as a 12th man on the field for kickoff once again, this time holding the ball on a tee after that was a point of discussion coming out of Week 2.
• The Bears started at their own 32-yard line. Marcus Epps immediately missed a tackle on the first play from scrimmage. The Bears quickly picked up a first down with a tight end screen. Two straight passes before the Bears’ first running play. Then another Case Keenum completion for a first down into plus territory. The Bears went with a toss to old friend D’Andre Swift to set up 2nd-and-1. Another Keenum completion for another first down … before expedited review revealed the ball hit the ground between Cole Kmet’s legs. Facing 3rd-and-1, the Bears’ run was stopped short of the marker. But then Keenum found a wide open Sam Roush on fourth down for an easy first down. Ben Johnson in his bag early. Facing 3rd-and-2, Keenum flipped shorst to Luther Burden, who was initially stopped before he was pushed by his teammates into the end zone. Not the kind of start you wanted to see from an Eagles defense that got bullied by the Bears last year. Got outmuscled to give up a score. EAGLES 0, BEARS 7.

• The Eagles took over at their own 25-yard line. Jalen Hurts’ first pass was a first down to completion to an open crossing Makai Lemon. Another Lemon target that wasn’t doomed from the start! Nice to see. The Eagles picked up another first down with a Saquon Barkley run to the left edge. Facing 3rd-and-6, Hurts got called for intentional grounding after facing quick pressure. Facing 3rd-and-16, a Hurts dumpoff to … Johnny Mundt … picked up just five yards. Punt from the plus 46-yard line … that went out of bounds at the 16-yard line. Only a net of 30 yards. Bad stuff from Mann but Nick Sirianni might’ve wanted to be more aggressive there in no man’s land.

• The Bears took over at their own 16-yard line. They quickly moved just shy of midfield before Riq Woolen was flagged for defensive holding. Facing 3rd-and-6 around midfield, the Bears thought they had a free play with Moro Ojomo jumping early … but the refs clearly thought Ojomo didn’t jump offside. Keenum’s downfield pass was incomplete to bring up a punt. The Bears’ punt was downed nicely at the 2-yard line. Jonathan Jones could’ve tried to pick up the ball for a free return since the Bears touched it … but he just watched Chicago down it. Cool. Or not! The Bears actually touched the ball while a player’s foot was on the goal line for a touchback. Lucky break there.
• The Eagles took over at their own 20-yard line. Unnecessary Tyler Steen holding penalty wiped out a big Saquon Barkley run to the left for a first down and more. Hurts checked down to Tank Bigsby, who fumbled for a Bears recovery. Awesome.

• The Bears took over at the plus 15-yard line. They reached third down to bring up the end of the first quarter.

SECOND QUARTER

• Facing 3rd-and-6, Andrew Mukuba almost came up with a pick on a Keenum throw. But the Eagles’ third down stop was negated by another Woolen penalty that looked weak, just like his first. Next play, Keenum hit Colston Loveland for a score. Upon review, Loveland was just shy of the goal line.

FOURTH QUARTER

EAGLES LINEUP NOTES

• Johnny Mundt, not Zach Ertz, was first up at tight end in 11 personnel (one tight end on the field).
• Michael Carter II rotated in at safety after Marcus Epps struggled on the Bears’ first drive. But then Epps came back in.
