The Chicago Bears are back under the national spotlight Monday night for a Week 3 matchup against the undefeated Philadelphia Eagles at Soldier Field.
Chicago enters Monday Night Football at 1-1 after its offense came crashing down in a 9-3 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Philadelphia arrives in Chicago at 2-0 after opening its season with victories over the Washington Commanders and Tennessee Titans.
The biggest storyline for the Bears is at quarterback. Caleb Williams has officially been ruled out because of the hamstring injury he suffered against Minnesota. Tyson Bagent, however, has cleared concussion protocol and is available Monday night. Still, the Bears are expected to roll with Case Keenum under center.
Here's everything Bears fans need to know to watch, stream, and listen to Monday night's game.

Monday night represents an important early-season test for the Bears. Chicago has already experienced two dramatically different games — a 59-37 offensive explosion against Carolina followed by a 9-3 loss to Minnesota — and now Ben Johnson's team gets an undefeated Philadelphia squad in prime time.
And this time, the Bears will have to do it without Williams.
