Philadelphia @ Chicago
Team Totals: Eagles 23, Bears 18.5
Bears DC Dennis Allen blitzed Jalen Hurts on 44% of his dropbacks (third) in their lone matchup last year — a scheme the latter can exploit further given his fourth-most expected points (14.4) when blitzed. Even if you ignore Bryce Young’s rushing points from Week 1, his arm would’ve finished as the QB8 (with 24.4 passing points) against this secondary. Carson Wentz’s production was a moot point for weather. … Saquon Barkley was a full participant in Friday’s practice, vowing to “go out there and play fearless” after a stinger limited him to five snaps in Tennessee. The Bears have infamously been road-graded by inferior talent — Chuba Hubbard (13/87/2 from scrimmage) and Aaron Jones (23/105/0) were must-starts those weeks — giving Barkley the RB1 green light. His poor 9% target share in their season opener could logically increase without Dallas Goedert (knee).
