Case Keenum Powers Bears to 27-7 Win Over Eagles as Caleb Williams Stays Week-to-Week

Summary
Case Keenum, making his first start since Week 16 of 2023, went 24-of-34 for 247 yards, two passing touchdowns and a rushing score in Chicago’s 27-7 Monday night rout of Philadelphia.
Ben Johnson said Caleb Williams is week-to-week, and Keenum’s command of the offense — with Tyson Bagent cleared but backing him up — eased pressure to rush the injured starter back.
Chicago struck early with an 11-play opening touchdown drive capped by Luther Burden III’s first scoring catch of the season, then sealed the game on Keenum’s goal-line sneak.
Philadelphia fell to its first loss after entering 2-0, with Jalen Hurts finishing 16-of-25 for 153 yards, one rushing touchdown and one interception.
The result gives the Bears a credible short-term option at quarterback heading into Week 4 against the Jets while Williams recovers.
