Bears’ Case Keenum Fires Up Locker Room With Postgame Speech After ‘MNF’ Win
Case Keenum fired up teammates in the locker room with an emotional speech after leading the Bears to a "MNF" win over the Eagles.
On Monday, the Chicago Bears secured a 27-7 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, thanks in part to the impressive performance of backup quarterback Case Keenum. The 38-year-old, who hadn't played in a game for almost three years, stepped in to replace injured star quarterback Caleb Williams. Keenum completed 24 of his 34 passes for 247 yards and two touchdowns, with a passer rating of 110.8, throwing no interceptions and not being sacked.
His top targets were Luther Burden III and Kalif Raymond, who combined for 151 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Following the win, Keenum addressed his teammates in the locker room, delivering an impassioned speech that left them fired up and encouraged. He expressed his gratitude for being given the opportunity to return to the game and play alongside his family.
Keenum's performance provided a boost for the Bears, who will next face the New York Jets at home on Sunday, October 4, at 1 p.m. ET.
