Eagles upset Bears 41-23, Daniel benched after 3 INTs
2019WK5.jpg
The Bears lost to the Eagles 41-23 after a second half collapse which included the benching of QB Chase Daniel after he threw his third interception, a 45-yard pick six by Malcolm Jenkins near the end of the third quarter. This gave 7th round pick Tyree Jackson of Buffalo his first NFL snaps, and he impressed the coaching staff, even if he was just playing in garbage time.
The Eagles struck first in this game, as Jake Elliott hit a 37-yard FG to give the Eagles a 3-0 lead. Later in the first, Alshon Jeffery scored the first of his three TDs against his former team. After the teams exchanged field goals, the Bears were able to score a touchdown to keep the close heading into halftime.
The second half was a different story. The Eagles scored 28 unanswered points in the second half, jumping to a huge 41-10 lead after Jeffery's third touchdown of the game. At this point, Nagy had seen enough of Daniel, who has thrown 10 interceptions in his 4 starts this season.
Nagy threw Jackson into the fire, and Jackson was able to impressively lead a couple of scoring drives in the fourth quarter. He capped off his first NFL drive with a 10 yard TD run, and on the next drive, connected with Tarik Cohen for a passing touchdown. Jackson's statline from his two drives against the Eagles wasn't overly impressive (10/12, 66 yards, passing TD, rushing TD), but he was able to move the ball down the field, something Chase Daniel has been inconsistent with.
This leaves many wondering, could the Bears actually decide to start Tyree Jackson next week? "Right now, we just want the best possible quarterback out there leading this team. Until Mitchell (Trubisky) comes back, we need to figure out who that is going to be," said coach Matt Nagy during the postgame press conference.
It looks like the Bears have a decision to make, and this week might be the best week to let Jackson have an opportunity to start and be able to play an entire game. The Bears will travel back home to take on the 2-3 Giants next week, and the next week is their bye week. With the potential to have Trubisky come back the week after the bye, the Bears might want to roll with the rookie QB for a game, because it might be better than taking their chances with the inconsistent Daniel again.

The Bears are back at home this week, taking on the struggling 2-3 Giants. Eli Manning is still the starting QB for the G-Men, and the Bears secondary may be in the market for some takeaways. The Bears are without Eddie Goldman again due to injury, but the Giants have a healthy squad coming into this one.
The big question here: who will start at quarterback for the Bears? Matt Nagy has yet to announce a starter, and it is looking more and more like it will be a game-time decision. Fans are clamoring for Jackson after his two garbage time drives that ended in two touchdowns, while Chase Daniel leads the league in interceptions in 4 games as a starter.
The Bears are just hoping to find a way to get to the bye week 4-2 and with no more injuries. The Giants find themselves near the Redskins at the bottom of the NFC East, and another loss here may really hurt their playoff hopes.
Spread: NYG +6
