It was a shaky first half for the Eagles. They had no issues passing the ball, but their rushing attack was lackluster to say the least. Interestingly, Ryan Mathews only had two carries in the first half. It wouldn’t be surprising if he’s dealing with some sort of underlying injury. The Eagles ran the ball only 10 times in the first half, which isn’t a lot.

Overview

What started out as a slow night for Philadelphia’s offense turned out to be an all around dominant effort from the Eagles. Jim Schwartz’s defense suffocated Chicago’s offense into submission and when the Bears thought they found an answer, the Eagles adjusted. Carson Wentz looks to be as good as advertised. Last week, Wentz put on a show against the Cleveland Browns, but Chicago was a much better test for the young QB and he performed extremely well. The Eagles may have finally found their franchise quarterback.

Additional notes

Caleb Sturgis looked to have injured his leg at some point during the game. He did not leave the game, but the Eagles did their best to avoid putting him on the field. If Sturgis suffered a significant injury, the Eagles may look to add a free agent kicker (maybe Cody Parkey?).
