The Bears were just barely good enough to win this game on Sunday Night.  Kyle Orton was so-so again as he completed 18 of 34 passes for 199 yards with 3 TD passes and 2 interceptions.  Rookie RB Matt Forte had a tough night as he carried the ball 19 times for 43 yards (2.3 ypc) and he also caught 5 passes for 42 yards (8.4 avg).  Greg Olsen, Devin Hester and Marty Booker each caught 1 TD apiece from Kyle Orton against the Eagles.  The Bears finished up with 78 yards rushing on 26 carries (3.0 ypc) and they also completed 18 of 34 passes for 178 yards.

Strong safety Kevin Payne (9 tackles, interception) and linebacker Brian Urlacher (8 tackles) led a so-so defensive effort by the Bears.  The Eagles finished up with 103 yards rushing on 23 carries (4.5 ypc) and they also completed 25 of 41 passes for 237 yards.  The Bears are now 2-2 on the season with this win.
