Case Keenum Leads Bears to 27-7 Upset of Eagles

Exposing Philadelphia’s execution lapses, Chicago’s win puts a spotlight on veteran Case Keenum as Caleb Williams recovers from a hamstring injury.

Overview

  • Case Keenum started for the Bears and went 24-of-34 for 247 yards with two touchdown passes and a rushing score to power a 27-7 victory on Monday night.
  • Jalen Hurts was removed for a concussion evaluation after a late hit by D’Marco Jackson, was cleared to return, and backup Andy Dalton briefly entered and threw an end-zone interception that Dillon Thieneman returned.
  • Chicago’s defense forced three takeaways, opened the second half with three straight three-and-outs and held the Eagles to 62 second-half yards to seal the rout.
  • Philadelphia compounded its problems with 10 penalties, missed tackles and two interceptions and a fumble, leaving questions about communication and situational execution for coach Nick Sirianni’s staff.
  • Caleb Williams is expected to miss time with a hamstring issue, Tyson Bagent remained in concussion protocol, and media reports say Jackson could face an NFL fine for the late hit, raising short-term roster and discipline implications for both teams.
