NFL: Unbeaten Eagles head to Chicago to face Bears, who will be without their starting quarterback
On Monday, September 28, unbeaten Philadelphia Eagles (2-0) travel to Soldier Field to face the Chicago Bears (1-1) in a Week 3 Monday Night Football matchup, with Chicago missing starting quarterback Caleb Williams.
Game overview
The NFL Week 3 clash takes place at Soldier Field in Chicago, Illinois, on Monday, September 28, 2026. Kickoff is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET (5:15 p.m. PT), which falls in the early hours of Tuesday, September 29 in UK time. The game will stream worldwide, except in the United States and China, on DAZN as part of its NFL Game Pass subscription.
Team form
The Philadelphia Eagles arrive in Chicago with a perfect 2-0 record, having opened the season with wins over the Washington Commanders (24-22) and, on the road, the Tennessee Titans (24-20). Head coach Nick Sirianni's roster is led by quarterback Jalen Hurts, running back Saquon Barkley and wide receiver DeVonta Smith.
The Chicago Bears sit at 1-1 after losing 9-3 to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 2. The main storyline heading into the game is the absence of quarterback Caleb Williams, who is out with a hamstring injury — the first time he will miss a regular-season start since entering the league. Veteran Case Keenum steps in under center, with Ben Johnson's offense relying on running backs De'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai to move the ball.
Prediction
DAZN News NFL writer Jason Abbey forecasts a 27-17 Eagles win. He expects Johnson's scheme to create big rushing plays for Swift and Monangai, but believes Keenum could struggle to sustain drives, giving Hurts and Barkley ample chances to control the game on the other side.
How to watch
Fans can watch the game live via an NFL Game Pass subscription on the DAZN app, available on smart TVs, phones, tablets, streaming devices and game consoles. Subscription pricing and packages vary by country.
