Case Keenum throws two TDs as Bears beat Eagles 27-7
Backup quarterback Case Keenum passed for two touchdowns and rushed for another to lead Chicago's dominant 27-7 win.
Case Keenum stepped in for injured starter Caleb Williams and delivered in his first NFL start since Christmas Eve 2023. The 38-year-old completed 24 of 34 passes for 247 yards.
Keenum threw touchdown passes to Luther Burden and Kalif Raymond, and scored on a one-yard run in the fourth quarter. Chicago's defence shut down Philadelphia, limiting Jalen Hurts to 153 passing yards with an interception.
The Eagles turned the ball over three times and failed to record a takeaway for the third straight game. Keenum's family watched from the stands as the Bears improved to 2-1 with a commanding second-half performance.
