\u00a0ESPN 1000<\/a><\/p>\nThe Bears and Vikings will be broadcast on ESPN on Monday Night Football, capping the first week of NFL action.<\/p>\n
Joe Buck and Troy AIikman will have the call on ESPN, while Laura Rutledge and Lisa Salters will be reporting from the sidelines. Jeff Joniak, Tom Thayer and Jason McKie will be on the call for ESPN 1000.<\/p>\n
Chicago Bears vs. Philadelphia Eagles start time <\/p>\n
Date: Monday, Sept. 28<\/p>\n
Where:\u00a0Soldier Field, Chicago, Illinois<\/p>\n
Time:\u00a07:30\u00a0CDT<\/p>\n
What a swing of emotions. The Bears went from thinking quarterback Caleb Williams would be done for the year, to the news he injured his hamstring. He’ll be back, but the image of him getting carted off Soldier Field was tough to swallow.<\/p>\n
Oh yeah, the Bears have a game to play.<\/p>\n
The Eagles come to Soldier Field for Monday Night Football and the Bears might need third-string quarterback Case Keenum to hold serve. Last year, the Bears found success running the football with Kyle Monangai and D’Andre Swift before Williams’ knockout punch to Cole Kmet. The latter most likely won’t be there on Monday.<\/p>\n
