Bears QB Case Keenum can make team history on Monday vs. Eagles

If Case Keenum gets the start for the Bears on Monday night, he has the chance to set a new team record.

The Chicago Bears are set to face the Philadelphia Eagles in an eagerly awaited Monday Night Football showdown at Soldier Field. The teams aim to bounce back from recent setbacks as the Bears host the Eagles. Quarterback Caleb Williams, who started last Monday, will miss Monday's game due to a hamstring injury, while backup Tyson Bagent has been sidelined with concussion symptoms.

As a result, veteran quarterback Case Keenum is the most probable starter, making his first start since 2023. Keenum, 38 years old, could etch his name in Bears history as the oldest quarterback to throw a touchdown against the Eagles. Should he succeed, Keenum would surpass Dave Krieg's 1996 record of 38 years and 55 days. However, Keenum wouldn't hold the record for the oldest player, as Mike Horan currently holds that distinction.

Regardless, the primary goal remains securing a victory over the Eagles, with Keenum's potential milestone adding an exciting twist to the game.
