Eagles Face Bears’ Rushing Attack as Keenum Is Expected to Start

The Philadelphia Eagles visit the Chicago Bears on Monday night in a Week 3 matchup shaped by Chicago’s expected quarterback change and the contrast between the teams’ rushing performances. The Eagles enter 2-0, while the Bears are 1-1. The game is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. Eastern at Soldier Field in Chicago, with ESPN and ABC listed as broadcasters in the previews. Chicago is expected to play without quarterback Caleb Williams, who reports say is sidelined by a hamstring injury. Veteran Case Keenum is expected to start in his place. The supplied previews do not confirm the final lineup or report a game result, so the quarterback change remains an expectation ahead of kickoff. The central matchup is Chicago’s ground game against Philadelphia’s run defense. The Bears are reported to average 212.5 rushing yards per game through two games, the highest figure in the NFL. D’Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai have led the attack, according to one preview, which lists Swift with 169 yards and three touchdowns and Monangai with 147 yards and one touchdown. Philadelphia has allowed 254 rushing yards on 61 carries through its first two games, according to one account.
