Case Keenum Leads Bears to 27-7 Win Over Eagles

Chicago’s veteran backup delivered multi-touchdown play as the Bears controlled tempo and exposed short-term depth questions for Philadelphia.

Overview

  • Case Keenum, starting for the injured Caleb Williams, completed 24 of 34 passes for 247 yards with two passing touchdowns and added a rushing score in Monday night’s 27-7 victory.
  • The Bears ruled Caleb Williams out with a right hamstring injury and chose not to place him on injured reserve, a roster decision the team signaled could allow his return in roughly four weeks.
  • Chicago controlled the game with a time-consuming ground and short-yardage attack that produced 128 rushing yards and long, clock-eating drives under play-caller Ben Johnson.
  • Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts was evaluated for a concussion after a late hit, missed four plays while checked in the medical tent, was cleared to return, and Philadelphia’s offense suffered an interception by backup Andy Dalton during that sequence.
  • Philadelphia elevated veteran tight end Zach Ertz after Dallas Goedert’s knee/MCL injury, and the loss leaves the Eagles 2-1 while the Bears improve to 2-1 and spotlights the immediate value of experienced backups and roster depth.
