Alright, 12s, if you’re tuning into Monday Night Football tonight hoping for a classic, you might want to adjust your expectations. Caleb Williams, the Bears’ starting quarterback, is sidelined with a hamstring injury, which has completely derailed what should have been a much better matchup. With Tyson Bagent only just cleared from concussion protocol and barely getting any practice in for Week 3, it is Case Keenum who is operating Ben Johnson’s offense for Chicago’s home game against the Philadelphia Eagles. What a mess, right?
Bears’ QB Woes And The Eagles’ Steady Start
The Chicago Bears are sitting at 1-1 after losing Caleb Williams and their Week 2 game to the Minnesota Vikings. That kind of instability at the most important position is a huge problem, especially early in the season. You have to wonder how Keenum, stepping in cold, is going to handle things tonight. It is a tough look for a team trying to find its footing. Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Eagles are cruising along at 2-0. Their offense, by all accounts, has been its usual inconsistent self, but the defense, for the most part, has done the job. They are even getting Jonathan Greenard back from injury, which only makes them tougher.
Former Hawks Flying High (And Hurt)
Speaking of the Eagles, former Seahawks cornerback Riq Woolen is off to an excellent start for them. It is great to see him playing well, even if it is not in the green and blue anymore. Tonight could have been a reunion of sorts with another former Seahawk, Coby Bryant, but unfortunately, Bryant is possibly out for the season with a knee injury. That’s a brutal blow for him and any chance of seeing those guys on the same field again. But remember this, Hawks fans: we will see these two teams later in the season. We host Chicago in Week 8 on Monday Night Football, and then we are off to Philadelphia in late December for a Week 16 showdown. Those games are going to tell us a lot.
It has been a wild start to the season for a lot of teams, and for us here in the Emerald City, it means keeping an eye on future opponents. The Hawks themselves just came off a tough one, losing 33-31 to the Washington Commanders. That sting is fresh, but we know our team will bounce back.
