Case Keenum Leads Bears to 27-7 Monday Night Win Over Eagles

The game showed Chicago's roster depth can cover a starter's hamstring absence.

Overview

  • Case Keenum, starting his first regular-season game since 2023, completed 24 of 34 passes for 247 yards, threw two touchdown passes and scored on a quarterback sneak in the Bears' 27-7 victory Monday night.
  • Caleb Williams was listed inactive with a hamstring injury and Tyson Bagent, though cleared from concussion protocol, did not start as Chicago turned to the veteran third-stringer.
  • Philadelphia committed three turnovers and 10 penalties that repeatedly stalled drives and created short fields for the Bears, including an interception thrown by backup Andy Dalton while Jalen Hurts was being evaluated for a concussion.
  • Chicago's defense forced three takeaways, opened the second half with three consecutive three-and-outs and helped the Bears control time of possession and field position down the stretch.
  • The win improves Chicago to 2-1, underscores the value of experienced backups and coaching depth, and raises short-term questions about Philadelphia's discipline and offensive execution as both teams head into Week 4.
