Not that Keenum can\u2019t lead this offense, but he\u2019s had only one week to prepare for the occasion, and his last regular season game was in December 2023 \u2014 it\u2019s been awhile. Still, the veteran isn\u2019t to be overlooked, and the Eagles defense needs to play more soundly than they\u2019ve done through two games this season.<\/p>\n<p>Join Bleeding Green Nation on game day!<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Stay on top of every Eagles update and debate every snap with other diehard Birds fans.

Cam Jurgens and Drew Kendall have one more week of reps under their belts in their new roles, and will hopefully continue to develop. New OC Sean Mannion has added some really exciting elements, but the run game still needs a boost to make it a more complete package. Saquon Barkley is going to play despite suffering a stinger last Sunday, and will try to eliminate the number of negative plays from the ground game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Hang out here for updates and to chat, celebrate, vent, and argue in the comments!

The Bears offense took 13 plays to score, eating over eight minutes of the clock.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Q3 [PHI 7 &#8211; CHI 20]: Case Keenum has not been challenged much by the Eagles defense so far in this game, and managed another big drive that resulted in a touchdown by way of a 41-yard deep pass to Kalif Raymond.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Q3 [PHI 7 &#8211; CHI 13]: The Bears were able to extend their lead early in the third quarter thanks to a 48-yard field goal kick.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Q2 [PHI 7 &#8211; CHI 10]: The Eagles were able to get on the board right as the clock hit 0:00 heading into halftime. Jalen Hurts was able to get the ball with one second left and QB sneak it into the endzone for Philly\u2019s first points on the night. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bleedinggreennation.com\/news\/184583\/jalen-hurts-injury-concussion-evaluation-bears-week-3-monday-night-football\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Hurts was mad he missed the end of an earlier drive to be evaluated for a concussion<\/a>, so he was motivated to get back into scoring position and was able to make the most of it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Q2 [PHI 0 &#8211; CHI 10]: Chicago was forced to settle for a field goal to extend their lead to 10 points.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Q1 [PHI 0 &#8211; CHI 7]: The Bears were able to score on the first drive of the game, with QB Case Keenum leading them on an 11-play drive down the field.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Note: if the tracker isn\u2019t properly loading for you, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/i\/lists\/127611597\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">CLICK HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Note: This is an open thread.
