Chicago Bears’ third‑string quarterback Case Keenum, 38, delivered a dominant performance in his first NFL start in 1,009 days, leading the Bears to a 27‑7 win over the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday.
Keenum, who had been on the sidelines for over two and a half years, stepped into the starting role and guided the Bears to a decisive victory, outscoring the perennial NFC heavyweight by 20 points.
Chicago’s offense was efficient, while the defense held the Eagles to just seven points, a score that underscored the Bears’ superiority on both sides of the ball.
Coach Ben Johnson praised Keenum’s effort, describing it as “extraordinary.”
The win marks a significant turnaround for the Bears, who had struggled to find consistency at the quarterback position in recent seasons.
