- Bears hand Philly first loss! This is The Sports Reset for Tuesday September 29th In the NFL, the Chicago Bears beat the Philadelphia Eagles 27 to 7 at Soldier Field. Case Keenum made his first NFL start since 2023, stepping in after Caleb Williams was ruled out with a hamstring injury. Chicago held previously unbeaten Philadelphia to one touchdown, delivering an upset behind its third-string quarterback. Looking ahead, MLB’s best-of-three wild-card round opens today with the Philadelphia Phillies visiting the Atlanta Braves, the Chicago White Sox facing the Houston Astros, the Boston Red Sox meeting the New York Yankees, and the Chicago Cubs playing the San Diego Padres. Yankees-Red Sox leads the baseball slate, a rivalry rematch between two strong pitching clubs after New York recovered from a Game 1 loss to eliminate Boston last year. In the NHL, the Carolina Hurricanes raise their second Stanley Cup banner before hosting the Florida Panthers on the opening night of the first 84-game season in 33 years. The Montreal Canadiens visit the Toronto Maple Leafs for the franchises’ NHL-record 24th shared season opener, while the New York Rangers face the Boston Bruins, the Vancouver Canucks visit the Edmonton Oilers, and the Chicago Blackhawks play the Vegas Golden Knights. Off the ice, the Maple Leafs acquired Kirill Marchenko from the Columbus Blue Jackets in a six-player trade headlined by Matthew Knies going the other way, then signed Marchenko to a six-year, 75 million dollar extension.
