Butkus and the Bears stifle the lowly Eagles

Knocked out of the game early Bears QB Jack Concannon may face some controversy after Bobby Douglass came in and played a great game against the hapless Eagles in week 2 of the 1970 season

Looking for a spark the Monsters of the Midway found it in their tough defense and punishing running game as they controlled the ball and blanked the Eagles (now 0-2) 23-0.

Concannon was knocked out in the 3rd quarter and so far this year has 4 INT's and a low rating of 30.5 on the season. Douglass came in and threw TD strikes of 20 and 26 yards. On the day however the Chicago Bear rushing game was bruising, amassing over 180 yards including a 46 yard run by Don Shy.

The Eagles and Bears played a scoreless first half but after adjusting at halftime the Bears went deep and ran up the middle to shred the Eagles. The Bears are now 1-1 after losing in week one 17-10. Eagles coach Jerry Williams will have to take a long look at his paltry QB situation as Norm Snead is only throwing at a 29.6 rating with no TD's and 2 INT's so far.
