With Asante Samuel Out the Eagles defense looked terrible against the Bears for 3 quarters. They stepped up, with a strong effort in the fourth but ultimately the offense did not have enough. The Eagles fell to the Bears in a game in which they were more then a field goal favorite. The Bears relentless defense, led by Julius Peppers, contained Vick for the most part the entire game. Towards the end of the first half all looked good for the Eagles, they were at the four yard line and were looking to at the very least take a 16-14 lead before halftime. However, a tipped pass led to Vick's first interception of the year and the Bears marching down and taking a 21-13 lead before halftime. The lead grew to 31-13 and the Eagles got scrappy in the fourth cutting it to a 31-26 Bears win. The defense was missing the turnover spark, and the Bears were the ones able to force the Eagles into mistakes. The presence of Peppers and the absence of Samuel was the key difference today. The Bears forced the Eagles to go underneath coverage all day, taking away Jackson as well and the deep ball. Even still, on a day where they really struggled at times, they managed 26 on a very good Bears defense. The Eagles have very quick turn around as they face the Houston Texans on Thursday night in Philly.
