- Eagles are 2-0 and Jalen Hurts is rolling — big passing numbers as Philadelphia heads to Monday Night Football in Chicago.
- Bears will be without rookie Caleb Williams (hamstring); veteran Case Keenum gets the start.
- Watch the matchups: D'Andre Swift and Chicago’s run game vs. Philly’s shaky run defense, and DeVonta Smith attacking a leaky Bears secondary.
The news, distilled into what matters.
- Turbo Richard is day-to-day and likely to play at Rutgers, which would give Indiana its top two running backs for the road trip.
- Lee Beebe Jr. erupted with 203 yards and a 70-yard run after stepping in for Richard.
- No. 6 Indiana still rolls with huge momentum — a school-record 20-game win streak and 12 straight conference wins.
- Jalen Hurts is torching defenses early (467 yards, 5 TDs) and leads an undefeated Eagles squad — easy conversation about his hot start.
- The Bears are leaning on D'Andre Swift and a league‑leading run attack, which could clash with Philly’s struggling run defense.
- Chicago will start Case Keenum with Caleb Williams injured, and their leaky secondary (≈252 pass yards allowed/game) makes for a key matchup vs. Philly’s passing game.
- Yankees and Red Sox renew their rivalry in the AL Wild Card beginning Sept. 29 — all games at Yankee Stadium, with the winner moving on to face the Rays.
- Game 1 is a big pitching duel: Cy Young favorite Cam Schlittler for the Yankees vs rising lefty Payton Tolle for Boston — a real tone-setter.
- Plenty of star power beyond that, including Max Fried, Sonny Gray, Gerrit Cole (returning from Tommy John) and Ranger Suárez — the six scheduled starters have 15 combined All-Star nods.
- Yankees vs. Red Sox: the storied rivalry renews in the wild-card (NYY won last year’s matchup; season series was tight, 7-6).
- Astros vs. White Sox: Astros enter with recent World Series pedigree and won the season series 5-2, while the White Sox are still climbing out of multi-year rebuilds.
- Braves vs. Phillies: NL East foes meet in another October showdown — Braves took the regular-season series 9-4, but Philly has owned Atlanta in recent postseasons.
- Monday Night Football: Eagles (2-0) visit the Bears as Philly chases a 3-0 start and Jalen Hurts continues to light it up through the air.
- Chicago leans on RB Swift and the NFL's top rushing attack against a Philly run defense that's allowed big gains.
- Bears turn to Case Keenum after Caleb Williams' injury — pressure and sacks (Chicago has five so far; Hurts has been taken down six times) could decide the night.
