Case Keenum, Chicago Defense Dominate Eagles in 27-7 Monday Night Win

Case Keenum completed 24 of 34 passes for 247 yards and two scores to lead the Chicago Bears past the Philadelphia Eagles.

Case Keenum threw for 247 yards and two touchdowns while adding a 1-yard rushing score to lead the Chicago Bears to a 27-7 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night. Starting for the first time in 1,009 days due to injuries to Caleb Williams and Tyson Bagent, the 38-year-old quarterback completed 24 of 34 passes. Keenum was particularly effective against the blitz, finishing 11-of-11 for 145 yards and two scores in those situations, marking his fourth career win as a starter against Vic Fangio defenses.

The Chicago defense limited Philadelphia to 248 total yards and recorded three takeaways. Dillon Thieneman and T.J. Edwards each intercepted Jalen Hurts, while Austin Booker forced a red-zone fumble. Hurts, who was evaluated for a concussion in the first half following a hit by D’Marco Jackson, finished the game but has now recorded 15 career interceptions on Monday Night Football. Backup Andy Dalton also committed one of Philadelphia’s three turnovers during the contest.

Chicago secured the win despite a struggling run game that averaged just 2.7 yards per rush. A critical neutral zone infraction by the Eagles on a fourth-and-short play extended a Bears drive that resulted in a touchdown. Defensively, Philadelphia linebacker Zack Baun struggled in coverage, allowing five receptions for 86 yards and a touchdown on six targets. The 2-1 Bears next face the New York Jets on Sunday, while the 2-1 Eagles travel to play the Los Angeles Rams.
