Keenum leads Bears to 27-7 Monday night win over Eagles

Chicago asked Case Keenum to make his first NFL start since December 2023. On Monday night, with Caleb Williams out because of a hamstring injury, he led Chicago to a 27-7 win over Philadelphia. Keenum threw two touchdowns without an interception, added a one-yard scoring run and watched the Bears' defense take the ball away three times. The final score and box score are recorded in ESPN's game feed for event 401872963.

Chicago scored on its opening possession when Keenum found Luther Burden III for an eight-yard touchdown. The lead was 10-7 at halftime after Jalen Hurts scored on a one-yard run as the second quarter expired. Earlier, Hurts had left briefly for a concussion check following a late hit; reserve Andy Dalton's pass was intercepted in the end zone by rookie Dillon Thieneman. Hurts returned, but Philadelphia never scored again.

The second-half separation came from two different parts of the Bears' offense. Cairo Santos kicked a 48-yard field goal, then Keenum connected with Kalif Raymond for a 41-yard touchdown that stretched the lead to 20-7. Raymond finished with six catches for 90 yards. A 13-play Bears drive consumed more than eight minutes in the fourth quarter and ended with Keenum's rushing touchdown. The NFL posted video of that score from the game.

Chicago's defense completed the result. T.J. Edwards intercepted Hurts late in the third quarter, and the Eagles finished with three turnovers against no Chicago giveaways. Philadelphia managed 248 total yards and converted only two of nine third downs; Chicago had 375 yards and held the ball for 36 minutes, 53 seconds. The Bears' official account posted a video roundup of the defensive work after the final whistle.
