In a tightly contested battle, the Philadelphia Eagles topped the Chicago Bears 17-11 in Week 3 of the 2026 season. The stakes were high as both teams sought to establish momentum early in the season, but it was the Eagles who emerged victorious, showcasing their resilience on the road. C.J. Stroud led the Eagles' offense with a steady performance, throwing for a crucial touchdown while Fernando Mendoza put up impressive passing numbers for the Bears, racking up 261 yards through the air. Dylan Sampson contributed significantly on the ground, adding 62 rushing yards and providing the Eagles with much-needed balance. Meanwhile, Jameson Williams shined for Chicago, collecting 118 receiving yards but ultimately couldn't propel his team to victory. Defensively, the Bears made their presence felt with CJ Allen leading the charge, recording 10 total tackles. Germaine Pratt added a sack, putting pressure on Stroud throughout the game. However, the turning point came late in the fourth quarter when the Eagles' defense held strong, forcing a crucial turnover and allowing their offense to run down the clock, sealing the win in a hard-fought matchup.
