The Eagles got their third Caleb Sturgis field goal, a 53-yarder, just before halftime to take a 9-7 lead on the Bears.

Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz has been good, but hasn’t gotten his team in the end zone. A drop by Jordan Matthews on a beautiful deep ball just before the third field goal didn’t help.

Wentz is 15-of-24 for 141 yards. Jay Cutler is 10-of-13 for 145 yards for the Bears, who got the game’s only touchdown on a 1-yard run by Jeremy Langford.

The Bears had just 10 rushing yards in the first half. The Eagles sacked Cutler twice.
