Eagles’ embarrassing loss to Bears exposes 2 winners and 6 losers in Week 3

Philadelphia Eagles entered Week 3 with an unbeaten record but suffered a 27-7 loss to the Chicago Bears, marking their first defeat of the 2026 season. The game exposed issues on both sides of the ball, handing the Eagles their first loss of the season.

Despite the loss, two players and several coaches were seen as winners. Cornerback Quinyon Mitchell had a bright spot with 2 pass deflections and 2 tackles for loss, despite the defense allowing 27 points. Saquon Barkley also contributed with 82 rushing yards and 15 carries. Coaches and players who endured difficult nights included Riq Woolen, Tank Bigsby, and Vic Fangio's defense.

Quarterback Tank Bigsby's costly fumble, at the 15-yard line, significantly impacted the Eagles' performance. Chicago's quarterback Case Keenum, who had not played since 2023, completed passes effectively and rushed for a touchdown. The Bears' offensive attack, led by Kalif Raymond and Luther Burden III, dominated the game with 247 passing yards, two touchdowns, and strong receiving performances.

Philadelphia's secondary struggled to contain Chicago's passing game, allowing 27 points. The Eagles managed only 248 total yards, committing 10 penalties and turning the ball over three times. The offense failed to sustain drives, especially after halftime, when they opened the third quarter with three consecutive three-and-outs. Quarterback Sean Mannion's offense produced just 248 total yards and 7 points, and the team went 2-for-9 on third down.
