The Eagles have a tough test ahead of them in Week 3 against the Bears, but Chicago might have bigger concerns than their next game. Late in the Vikings-Bears game on Sunday, Caleb Williams took off toward the end zone and went down in serious pain, rolling around, unable to get up. He was eventually carted to the locker room with just over seven minutes to play.

The Bears offense was unstoppable in Week 1, but faced a tough Brian Flores defense against Minnesota, and struggled to get much going in Week 2. Williams getting hurt on what would have been a touchdown run, made the injury even more impactful - the Bears didn't end up scoring at all despite being mere yards from the endzone with Tyson Bagent at quarterback.

If Williams isn't able to go against the Eagles next week on Monday Night Football, the Eagles defense might have a better shot to stop the Bears offense - which has looked difficult to do through two games this season.
