Chicago Bears come up short of predictions, succumb to Philadelphia Eagles in 233.9-149.7 rout

There's no way around it, Chicago Bears dropped the ball, at least according to projections, as Philadelphia Eagles cruised to a 233.9-149.7 victory. Chicago Bears got out to a 10.6-point lead on Thursday, but it was all Philadelphia Eagles after that. They were led by Adam Thielen, who caught 6 passes for 110 yards and 2 touchdowns for 32 points, and JuJu Smith-Schuster, who caught 6 passes for 69 yards and 2 touchdowns (24.9 points). Ezekiel Elliott (96 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 31 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Parris Campbell (6 Rec, 71 Rec Yds) led the charge for Chicago Bears in defeat. Philadelphia Eagles (1-0) will look to maintain their momentum against Las Vegas Raiders, while Chicago Bears (0-1) try to right the ship against Seattle Seahawks.
