In a 27-7 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, Chicago Bears third-string quarterback Case Keenum made his first NFL appearance since Christmas Eve 2023. Despite Caleb Williams' elbow injury, Keenum netted two passing touchdowns and ran for another score, leading the Bears to their first loss of the season. The 38-year-old veteran, who has played for eight different teams since going undrafted in 2012, outplayed Eagles' quarterback Jalen Hurts, who managed only 153 passing yards and an interception.
Despite Hurts' injury-related replacement by Andy Dalton, the Eagles defense struggled against Chicago's running game, ultimately leading to Keenum's impressive performance and the Bears' biggest defeat since 2023.
