The Eagles and Bears wrap up the second week of the season.
Week 2 of the NFL season wraps up on Monday night with the Philadelphia Eagles in Chicago to take on the Bears. That game starts at 8:30 p.m. ET, on ESPN. For a Monday night game in only second week of the season, there's kind of a lot riding on it.
The Bears didn't appear on many preseason lists to make the playoffs this year, but they're not giving up that dream so easily. However, after a loss to the Texans last week, John Fox's squad needs a win in the worst way this week. Only 11 percent of the teams that started the season 0-2 have gone on to play in the postseason that year. Only three teams have done it in the last two seasons.
For the Eagles, it's the chance to start the season with a perfect 2-0 record, again, not something many people would have predicted, especially after the team's decision to trade quarterback Sam Bradford to the Vikings and make rookie Carson Wentz their starter.
The Bears are favored by three.

Highlights
The Ravens got on the board against the Browns when they scored on one of the rarest scoring plays in the NFL.
Move over, Dan Marino. Drew Brees is now third on the all-time passing yards list.
Matthew Stafford absolutely trucked the Titans' Perrish Cox.
The Dolphins are having radio problems in New England. *thinking face emoji*
Kids went all Hunger Games on each other over a Cam Newton football.
Lions tight end Eric Ebron got penalized for faking a defender out of his cleats.
Kelvin Benjamin made a nifty one-handed grab, and the Panthers really enjoy having him back.
LeGarrette Blount is BFFs with a few Revolutionary War soldiers.
Melvin Gordon's mom can finally wear his jersey now that he's scoring touchdowns.
Mark Barron tried to pick off a Russell Wilson pass with his helmet.
Falcons scored a go-ahead TD thanks to an absurd ricocheted pass.
The Jaguars got blown out by the Chargers and Jared Odrick was NOT having it.
The Vikings' new stadium paid homage -- intention and not -- to Prince.
Major injuries
Jimmy Garoppolo, filling in for Tom Brady during his four-game suspension, left the game against the Dolphins with a shoulder injury and did not return. Rookie Jacoby Brissett took over for Garoppolo under center. Garoppolo may be ready to play in Week 4, but he will likely miss the Patriots' game against the Texans on Thursday Night Football.
Dolphins running back Arian Foster also exited with a groin injury and was ruled out for the remainder of the game.
In a scary moment, Saints CB P.J. Williams was carted off after taking two hits to the head. He briefly lost consciousness and was transported to the hospital, but he has movement in his extremities.
Panthers running back Jonathan Stewart did not return to the 49ers game after injuring his hamstring.
Josh McCown reportedly separated his left shoulder against the Ravens in the first quarter but came back into the game. Browns center Cameron Erving went to the hospital after the game due to cramps and is in stable condition.
Lions running back Ameer Abdullah injured his foot against the Titans and did not return.
Doug Martin suffered a hamstring injury early against the Cardinals and didn't return.
Danny Woodhead was carted off the field after taking a hit to his right leg.
Thomas Rawls is dealing with a leg injury and did not return against the Rams. The X-rays came back negative.
The already banged up Colts added WR Donte Moncrief (head and neck), CB Antonio Cromartie (shoulder) and Darius Butler (hamstring) to their list of injured players. Cromartie returned to the game, but Moncrief and Butler did not.
Broncos right tackle Donald Stephenson was ruled out with calf injury, while DeMarcus Ware left the game and is expected to miss 3-4 weeks with an ulna fracture.
Jaguars OT Kelvin Beachum was carted off the field after apparent head injury.
Adrian Peterson hurt his right knee in the third quarter of the Vikings' Sunday night game against the Packers. He had to be helped to the locker room and did not return.
