Case Keenum passed for two touchdowns in his first NFL start in almost three years as Chicago Bears shut down Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles for a 27-7 victory on Monday night. Stepping in for Caleb Williams, Keenum completed 24 passes from 34 attempts for 247 yards. He also scored his first rushing touchdown since 2019 on a one-yard plunge with seven minutes and 19 seconds left to play, capping a 13-play drive that took more than eight minutes off the clock.

It was Keenum's first action since he started for Houston in a 36-22 loss to Cleveland in December 2023. "To get a shot again like this? You dream of it," Keenum said. "That's why I'm still here doing this when I get knocked down. I got knocked down my whole career. I just keep getting up, coming to work, just keep bouncing back." Williams was sidelined by a right hamstring injury, and Tyson Bagent backed up Keenum after he cleared the NFL's concussion protocol on Sunday.

Bears coach Ben Johnson praised Keenum's preparation and execution, noting his deep understanding of the playbook. Kalif Raymond had six receptions for 90 yards and a touchdown as Chicago, who have won two and lost one game this season, bounced back after an ugly 9-3 loss to Minnesota. Philadelphia, who also hold a record of 2-1 this season, turned the ball over three times and failed to record a takeaway for the third consecutive game to begin the season.

Hurts successfully threw 16 passes out of 25 attempts for 153 yards, but conceded an interception, and Saquon Barkley rushed for 82 yards from 15 carries. Eagles coach Nick Sirianni acknowledged the team's poor performance, stating "I don't think anybody coached well. I don't think anyone played well.

It was a true team loss.".
