Ben Johnson sounds off on Bears' QB decision for Week 4 vs. Jets

Bears head coach Ben Johnson discussed who Chicago will decide to start at QB going into Week 4 vs. the Jets, Tyson Bagent or Case Keenum.

The Chicago Bears secured a significant victory on Monday Night Football, defeating the Philadelphia Eagles with a score of 27-7. Quarterback Case Keenum, who is 38 years old, was the man behind the Bears' success. The Bears were considered underdogs before the match, and the team opted to utilize Keenum, who was on the third position in their depth chart.

Following the triumph, head coach Ben Johnson was questioned about the team's plan for the Week 4 game against the New York Jets. Keenum was chosen to start over Tyson Bagent, despite the latter having recovered from a concussion. Johnson expressed that they would deliberate as a coaching staff on their decision, but he reiterated that Tyson was selected as the No. 2 quarterback in training camp for a reason.

Keenum's impressive performance in his debut game after a 1,009-day break, where he threw for two touchdowns and ran for another, will likely add to the discourse leading up to their crucial match against the Jets.
