Eagles Hit Historic Turnover Drought After 27-7 Loss to Bears

The Philadelphia Eagles suffered a 27-7 defeat to the Chicago Bears, marking their first 20-point loss since 2023 and the lowest scoring output in the Nick Sirianni era. The team is now 2-1 with zero takeaways and only three sacks through three games, a franchise-record drought that has not occurred in the first three weeks of a season since 1998. While the defense struggled against Chicago's efficient offense, the Eagles' offensive line and play-calling faced criticism for failing to support Jalen Hurts, leading to questions about the fit of new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion's scheme.

Ben Johnson Calls Jared Goff to Apologize for Mobility Joke After Bears Win

Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson called Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff on Wednesday to clarify that his post-game comments about Goff’s lack of mobility were a friendly joke, not an insult. The remark came after the Bears defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 27-7 on Monday Night Football, a game won by backup quarterback Case Keenum. Johnson, who previously served as the Lions' offensive coordinator, referenced his history with non-mobile quarterbacks while praising Keenum’s performance. Goff, who appeared on the 'St. Brown Brothers' podcast, confirmed the call and stated he understood the intent, though he joked about returning the shade later. The incident highlights the ongoing friendly rivalry between the two former colleagues, with Johnson now in his second season as Bears head coach and Goff still with the Lions.
