Quick Summary

Case Keenum, at 38 years old, led the Chicago Bears to a 27-7 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles in his first start since December 2023. In addition to completing 24 passes for 247 yards and two touchdowns, Keenum scored his first rushing touchdown since 2019 by diving into the end zone on third-and-goal. This was especially meaningful as it marked the first time he played in front of his young children who stayed up late to watch him play on "Monday Night Football."
