In the end however, the Bears showed their potential in that first half against Houston. Eagles vs Bears scores and results will be posted here after the game.
The Chicago Bears desperately need to win at Soldier Field, as their stadium had lost its luster of late.
Seven teams have started the 2016 National Football League season with a flawless 2-0 record, and the Philadelphia Eagles look to make it eight in the final game of Week 2.
Chicago Bears (0-1) vs.
Not much has been said about the Bears offense, yet they have a number of weapons for Jay Cutler to utilize.
“We’ve got to be more efficient on third down”, Cutler said. “You’ve just got to keep hammering away and chiseling away, and eventually something’s going to give, and it just opens up the rest of the game plan”. We made some great plays down the field. The defense also got an interception from safety Rodney McLeod. Watch tonight and see what the Bears are up to this season. But the unit allowed Houston to convert 12-of-20 third-down opportunities (60 percent), enabling the Texans to sustain drives and dominate time of possession 36:19-23:41.
Carson Wentz, the rookie quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles, won several new friends after a surprisingly impressive Week 1 performance. That starts with a pass rush from a front seven that produced little pressure against Texans quarterback Brock Osweiler. The Eagles defeated the Cleveland Browns 29-10 in their opening game of the 2016 season. He had one interception last week when Kevin White broke off of his route. It was his hit on Robert Griffin III last week that caused the arm injury that has knocked the Browns quarterback out for at least two months.

Eddie Royal returned a punt 65 yards for a consolation touchdown for the Bears with 5:09 remaining. Coach John Fox, whose father was a Navy SEAL, had said that the team “encourages” support for the country but that players have their own right to protest. “At the same time – and I want to make it a point – this has nothing to do with them”. The Bears are 3-13 at home the past two years, and their quarterback is not a standout at the moment. Seven wins a year ago may not be anywhere close to what this team is used to, but considering they did it with a patch-work offense and several key injuries on defense, they have to feel good heading into 2016. The Bears are 1-10 in Chicago dating back to 2014, when they dropped their final three home contests in Marc Trestman’s second and final year as head coach.
