Case Keenum, now 38 years old, delivered a dominant performance in his first NFL start in nearly three years, guiding the Chicago Bears to a 27-7 triumph over the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night. Stepping in for injured quarterback Caleb Williams, Keenum completed 24 of his 34 pass attempts for 247 yards and two touchdowns.
The veteran signal-caller also added a rushing score, marking his first touchdown on the ground since 2019. He plunged into the end zone from one yard out with 7:19 remaining in the game, capping a grueling 13-play drive that consumed more than eight minutes of game clock.
Keenum’s steady hand was instrumental in neutralizing Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, as the Bears’ defense held Philadelphia to just seven points en route to the convincing victory.
Defense was stellar holding Hurts to just 7 points. Can we keep this momentum going next week?
Wait, did he really rush for a TD? I haven’t seen Case Keenum score on the ground since 2019!
Keenum at 38 is proof that experience beats hype every time. What a way to step back in!
