Keenum stars for Bears on first start since 2023

Veteran quarterback Case Keenum made his first NFL appearance since December 2023, stepping in for injured teammates Caleb Williams and Tyson Bagent to guide the Chicago Bears to a 27-7 victory over the previously undefeated Philadelphia Eagles at Soldier Field. Keenum accumulated 247 passing yards alongside two passing scores and added another touchdown on the ground, becoming the oldest player in franchise history to record a rushing touchdown.

Luther Burden III and Kalif Raymond each caught scoring passes while kicker Cairo Santos contributed a pair of field goals as the Bears defense stifled Philadelphia.

Philadelphia quarterback Jalen Hurts provided his team's sole score of the contest via a rushing touchdown before halftime, though the offense struggled to generate momentum and was eventually replaced by Andy Dalton as the Eagles were held to just 248 total yards. Following the win, Kalif Raymond praised the experienced signal-caller's composure under pressure.

The triumph propelled Chicago forward while handing the Eagles their first loss of the campaign.
