Third-string QB Case Keenum guides Bears to blowout of Eagles
On Monday, September 28, 2026, Chicago Bears quarterback Case Keenum led his team to a 27-7 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles at Soldier Field. Stepping in for injured starter Caleb Williams, Keenum threw for 247 yards and two touchdowns.
Bears head coach Ben Johnson turned to Keenum after Williams was sidelined by a right hamstring injury. Keenum, who nearly retired two years ago, had not made a regular-season start since December 24, 2023, while playing for Houston.
Keenum utilized eight different receivers in the first half, including Luther Burden III, who caught an 8-yard touchdown pass. The quarterback later connected with Kalif Raymond for a 41-yard score, extending the Bears' lead to 20-7.
Philadelphia quarterback Jalen Hurts struggled throughout, throwing an interception and temporarily leaving the game for a concussion evaluation. The Bears' defense capitalized by forcing three turnovers to shut down the Eagles' offense and seal the blowout.
Chicago moves to a 2-1 record following this win, bouncing back from a loss to Minnesota last week. The Bears will next face the New York Jets at Soldier Field on Sunday at noon.
