Overview
- The Chicago Bears beat the Philadelphia Eagles 27-7 on Monday night after third-string quarterback Case Keenum, filling in for an injured Caleb Williams, completed 24 of 34 passes for 247 yards, threw two touchdown passes and scored on a quarterback sneak.
- Chicago's defense created three takeaways, including rookie Dillon Thieneman's end-zone interception of Andy Dalton and a key T. J. Edwards interception on fourth-and-5, which flipped momentum and kept Philadelphia off the scoreboard in the second half.
- The Eagles opened the third quarter with three consecutive three-and-outs and totaled just 62 yards after halftime, a collapse that featured a Tank Bigsby fumble, multiple penalties and two interceptions that cost scoring opportunities.
- Coach Nick Sirianni publicly said he regretted a fourth-and-1 decision late in the third quarter, and the loss has intensified questions about the Eagles' situational play-calling and how the team manages injuries to quarterbacks and the offensive line.
- With both teams now 2-1, the result highlights the value of experienced depth and play-calling adaptability for Chicago and sets up a short-term test for the Eagles to correct turnovers, penalties and coaching decisions before their next game.
