The Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson explained after the win that Keenum would be credited with the start and the victory, as the Elias Sports Bureau confirmed that the quarterback taking the initial snap is recognized as the starter. The Bears' coach maintained that the win would be credited to Keenum, stating that the team deserved recognition for securing the victory.",
