RUSHING OFFENSE
The Eagles didn't have a lot of success, particularly early, running the ball. They were held to 21 yards on 10 carries in the first half. But Ryan Mathews had two second-half touchdown runs.
GRADE: B
PASSING OFFENSE
Playing in his first NFL road game, Carson Wentz turned in another solid performance. Even though Zach Ertz, one of his go-to receivers, was sidelined, Wentz completed 19 of 31 passes for 184 yards and a touchdown in the first three quarters and played his second game without a turnover. Trey Burton, who replaced Ertz, had five of those 19 catches, including a 2-yard TD.
GRADE: A-minus
RUN DEFENSE
The Eagles shut down the Bears' ground game. They held Jeremy Langford and Ka'Deem Carey to 8 yards on six carries in the first half. For the game, the Bears totaled just 64 rushing yards.
GRADE: A
PASS DEFENSE
Playing without one of their starting corners, Leodis McKelvin, the Eagles bent but didn't break against Jay Cutler and the Bears' passing attack. Cutler completed 12 of 17 passes for 157 yards before leaving the game with a hand injury. He didn't have a touchdown pass.
GRADE: B-plus
SPECIAL TEAMS
Caleb Sturgis had three first-half field goals, but missed a PAT in the third quarter and suffered an injury. The Eagles allowed a 65-yard punt-return touchdown by Eddie Royal in the fourth quarter.
GRADE: C
OVERALL
Playing on the road with a rookie quarterback and without two of their key players - cornerback Leodis McKelvin and tight end Zach Ertz - this is a game the Eagles easily could have lost. But Carson Wentz turned in another excellent effort and so did the defense.
GRADE: A-minus
