The Bears opened the season with a 23-14 loss at Houston last week. Chicago struggled on offense in the contest, as the Bears were held to 258 total yards and were just 4 of 15 on 3rd down. Jay Cutler had 216 passing yards with a touchdown, but was sacked five times. The run game was held to 73 yards on 20 attempts as the loss of Matt Forte appeared to be a problem. The defense allowed 344 yards to Houston, but the concern is with injuries as cornerback Kyle Fuller is questionable to go tonight with a knee injury while linebacker Pernell McPhee is out until at least week 7 with a knee injury.

The Eagles started the season with a 29-10 win at home against the Browns last week. Carson Wentz had a pretty solid NFL debut for Philly, throwing for 278 yards and two touchdowns. He connected often with Jordan Matthews, who had seven catches for 114 yards. The run game produced 133 yards, but Ryan Mathews never really got going, being held to 77 yards on 22 carries. Defensively, Philadelphia held Cleveland to 288 total yards while picking up three sacks and a turnover. The Eagles have some injury concerns for tonight’s game as well, as tight end Zah Ertz is out with an injured collarbone. Ertz had six catches for 58 yards in last week’s win.
