The Bears gave up 129 yards rushing last week versus the Houston Texans.

Wentz followed up an impressive National Football League debut with another solid performance, throwing for 190 yards and a touchdown, and the Eagles beat the Chicago Bears 29-14 on Monday night. There’s a lot of excitement, and to go out and get a win, I’m sure there’s a lot of buzz going around. The Eagles got after the Browns defensively, forcing a fumble and an interception while sacking Browns QB Robert Griffin III 3 times, which ended with RGIII going on the IR for 8 weeks at the very least with a broken bone in his shoulder.
The Eagles seems to going with a “from the ground up” rebuild, securing second overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft and using it on quarterback Carson Wentz, thrusting him into the starting role.
Wentz targeted wide receiver Jordan Matthews 14 times, connecting on 7 for 114 yards and a score. The second was a five-yard reception on fourth-and-four to set up the decisive 35-yard scoring pass to Nelson Agholor. The Eagles should except a similar night from Ryan Matthews.
After impressing on his pro debut against the Browns, Wentz is looking forward to delivering another productive performance in Week 2.
Both teams have a physical freak playing at receiver, and both of them must be used. He even got a shout out from President Barack Obama during a rally for Hillary Clinton in Philadelphia this past week.
Monday Night football is a big stage for any player in the NFL.
“It’s never good to lose your franchise quarterback, whether it’s for a play, a game or possibly even longer”, Bears tight end Zach Miller said.
That was the biggest blow for the Bears (0-2), who lost several players and fell again after opening with a loss at Houston.
Jay Cutler passed for 216 yards and one touchdown with an interception in that defeat, while Alshon Jeffery had 105 receiving yards.
Chicago Bears running back Jeremy Langford.
Pederson said Saturday that he would like to know sooner rather than later about Johnson, but right now he is biding time as rookie Isaac Seumalo continues to heal from a pec injury he suffered late in training camp. You do not want to overload Wentz with a bunch of throws, expect the Eagles run game to match the passing game in attempts. After the game, Bradham said “Our game plan this week was pretty much to frustrate the quarterback”. But, what we like in this game is the total bet.
