On the road, this will be much tougher to accomplish, especially with a rookie quarterback.

This may not appear to be a high scoring affair, but the Chicago Bears and Philadelphia Eagles may decide many Week 2 fantasy football matchups.
In order for Wentz to have the success of those players, however, he’ll need to be able to stay on the field. The Eagles also had 12 possessions in their Week 1 win over the Browns but ran 73 plays, possessing the ball for a league-best 39:20. The jersey sales, the Presidential mention, the radio talk show feeding frenzies. with all due respect it doesn’t rate with the outcome Wentz and the Eagles got in the opener. The president of the United States publicly referenced the “Wentz Wagon”.
Bears coach John Fox and his defensive assistants have done some scouting of their own. Jeffery reported back to quarterback Jay Cutler.
The Philadelphia Eagles travel to Soldier Field to take on the Chicago Bears for some Monday Night Football to close out week 2 of the 2016 NFL regular season. “He’s going to be fine. Everybody is going to be pretty hyped and ready to go, so we’ve just gotta focus in and we’ll be ready”. We like our group of receivers out there. “I think getting that first start out of the way and getting that first win out of the way definitely helps my confidence going forward”.
It was one play after his 54-yard catch late in the first half.
Less than three years after the loss, the Eagles have changed their coaching staff, too, replacing Chip Kelly with former Chiefs assistant Doug Pederson this offseason. And with starting cornerback Leodis McKelvin out with a calf injury, that could mean trouble for the Eagles. Tight end Zach Ertz sustained a displaced rib near his left shoulder in Week 1 and also has been ruled out against the Bears. “You are talking up around the neck and head area, so any type of blow again could do further damage to that”. Now it’s the players’ job to give them something significant to cheer for four quarters. Linebacker Danny Trevathan will make his home debut as a Bear after signing as a free agent during the spring. The Redskins and quarterback Kirk Cousins surprised everyone including Redskins fans last season winning the east, and it shouldn’t come as a shock should Wentz help the Eagles to the postseason in his rookie year. Wentz is mature beyond his years, but he hasn’t experienced a schematic wizard like Fangio.
Wentz, however, will have plenty of support in the huddle as he braces for the Bears.
“It was a different look that we got”, White said.

“Physically, he reminds me a little bit of a combination of Andrew Luck – though, I’ve never played with him – just watching him play, but a guy that I did play with in Jim Kelly, the size, strength and just the toughness”, Eagles offensive coordinator Frank Reich said Friday, via NJ.com. Langford himself acknowledged that he needed to do more with what the offensive line created for him. “Leaving Jalen Mills and Ron Brooks to prove they have what it takes against Alshon Jeffrey who is 6′-4”. It becomes fun. It becomes something everybody loves to enjoy.
