DeVonta Smith’s reaction to Jalen Hurts on Eagles bench should worry fans given A.J. Brown history

The Chicago Bears secured a 27-7 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football, marking an important milestone in their season as they overcame the absence of their injured starting quarterback, Caleb Williams. Head coach Ben Johnson made strategic use of his depth chart, allowing 14th-year journeyman Case Keenum to make his regular-season debut and impress with 247 passing yards and two touchdowns, along with a rushing touchdown since 2019.

Luther Burden III, who had missed much of training camp and preseason due to a groin injury, scored the Bears' first touchdown on the opening drive. Zach Ertz, a veteran tight end, also had a standout performance, catching his first pass for the Eagles since being traded to the Arizona Cardinals in 2021. However, Jalen Hurts, who was expected to start, struggled with his arm and completed only 16 of 25 passes for 153 yards, leading to a crucial interception that effectively ended any chance of a comeback.

Andy Dalton, the Eagles' backup quarterback, made his regular-season debut but also struggled, throwing an interception in the end zone. Tyson Bagent, the Bears' second-string quarterback, missed an opportunity to start after clearing concussion protocol. The Bears' run game, usually effective, was less impactful in this game, gaining only 128 yards on 35 attempts.
