Eagles Film Preview: Offense should have good opportunities against this Bears defense
An All-22 look ahead to Philadelphia’s Week 3 matchup.
Philadelphia Eagles preview: The Bears' defense should create opportunities for the offense in their upcoming matchup. The defensive unit, led by Dennis Allen, focuses on pressuring the quarterback and aggressive coverage. However, their outside corners appear vulnerable, particularly Jaylon Johnson and Tyrique Stevenson, who have allowed significant receiving yards.
The Eagles could exploit this by testing Johnson with long throws down the sideline and using schemes like bunches and switch releases to create separation for receivers like Dontayvion Wicks and DeVonta Smith. While Malik Muhammad, the Bears' best player in the secondary, has been impressive, he is not necessarily an easy target for the Eagles due to his rookie status.
The defensive line, featuring Dayo Odeyingbo, Grady Jarrett, Austin Booker, and Montez Sweat, may not consistently overwhelm the Eagles' offensive line, even with their pressure packages.
