The Philadelphia Eagles suffered a 27-7 defeat to the Chicago Bears in Week 3, with blame for the loss spreading beyond quarterback Jalen Hurts. While some sources attribute only 15-20% of the blame to Hurts, the coaching staff is seen as primarily responsible for the team's struggles. The Eagles committed 10 penalties, turned the ball over three times, and managed just 248 total yards, raising concerns about their offensive performance, which mirrored issues from the previous season.
Hurts had a particularly rough night, throwing an interception and being forced into the medical tent after a hit that drew a personal foul. The Eagles' offense struggled overall, finishing with only 27 rushing yards on 38 attempts and allowing eight pressures and two sacks. The defense also faltered, failing to contain Bears quarterback Case Keenum, who threw for 247 yards and two touchdowns without facing a sack.
Rookie safety Andrew Mukuba was highlighted as a liability, tying for the team lead in tackles but struggling in coverage and committing a crucial holding penalty. The loss exposed multiple unresolved issues within the Eagles' roster, prompting a broader discussion about the team's performance as they sit at 2-1, despite the harsh realities revealed in the game film.
