You can't draw it up much better than the debut of Carson Wentz and Doug Pederson just over a week ago, when the duo led the Philadelphia Eagles to 29-10 win in their first game together. While the two got to start their journey against the Cleveland Browns, which certainly didn't work against them, they enter Week two against an opponent that is perhaps just as bad in the Chicago Bears.
After losing to the Houston Texans in Week one, the Bears will welcome the Eagles into Solider Field for their home opener, as Jay Cutler, John Fox and company look to avoid falling to 0-2.
The Eagles, though Solider Field isn't a desirable place to play in, have a realistic chance to return to Lincoln Financial Field next week to host the Pittsburgh Steelers with an undefeated record.
The Eagles and Bears, though not the most noteworthy game on this week's schedule, will square off on one of the league's biggest stages this week on ESPN's Monday Night Football. Before watching the game, be sure to read the articles below to get prepared for the matchup.
