Eagles vs Bears: 2026 form so far

Chicago’s two games could not be less alike, which makes their averages misleading in both directions. The table sets each attack against what the other defence has allowed.

Read these as a 2-game sample rather than settled form. Rates this early move a long way on one result.

Fifty-nine points and then three is not a form line so much as two different teams. Philadelphia have been steadier, converting 53.1% on third down across both.

The matchup that settles it: which Chicago turns up

Two hundred and ninety-one rushing yards against Carolina, then almost nothing against Minnesota. Philadelphia sit in between at 4.2 a carry conceded.

The Eagles are the more consistent side without being dominant: six touchdowns, 53.1% on third down, but two interceptions from Hurts at Tennessee.

Philadelphia have three sacks in two games, so Caleb Williams should have time if Chicago protect him better than they did in Minnesota.

Players to watch

  • Jalen Hurts (PHI, QB): 264 yards and two touchdowns at Tennessee, with two interceptions.
  • DeVonta Smith (PHI, WR): Ten catches for 117 yards and a score in Week 2.
  • D’Andre Swift (CHI, RB): 124 rushing yards and three touchdowns in the opener.
  • Caleb Williams (CHI, QB): Held to three points by Minnesota after 59 against Carolina.
