ABOUT THIS EPISODE
THE CHICAGO BEARS JUST SHOCKED THE PHILADELPHIA EAGLES ON MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL!
Playing without Caleb Williams, Chicago turned to veteran quarterback Case Keenum — and the Bears responded with their most complete performance of the season, beating Philadelphia 27-7 at Soldier Field to improve to 2-1.
Keenum delivered exactly what Ben Johnson needed from his veteran QB3, completing 24 of 34 passes for 247 yards, two passing touchdowns and ZERO interceptions, then adding a fourth-quarter rushing touchdown to put the game away.
And Chicago’s defense absolutely showed up.
The Bears forced three Philadelphia turnovers, held the Eagles to just 248 total yards, dominated time of possession 36:53 to 23:07, and held Jalen Hurts to 153 passing yards with no passing touchdowns and one interception.
The offense was balanced too. D’Andre Swift carried the ball 20 times for 84 yards, while Kalif Raymond continued his hot start with 6 catches for 90 yards and a 41-yard touchdown. Rookie Luther Burden III added 7 catches for 61 yards and a touchdown, giving Keenum two reliable weapons all night.
This was the formula Chicago needed without Caleb:
🏈 Case Keenum: 24/34, 247 yards, 2 TD, 0 INT
🔥 Kalif Raymond: 6 catches, 90 yards, TD
👀 Luther Burden III: 7 catches, 61 yards, TD
🏃 D’Andre Swift: 20 carries, 84 yards
🛡️ Bears defense: 3 takeaways
🚫 Jalen Hurts: 153 passing yards, 0 passing TDs
⏱️ Chicago: nearly 37 minutes of possession
The Bears also committed just five penalties, compared with Philadelphia’s 10, and Chicago never turned the football over.
That’s exactly what we talked about all week:
Play ugly. Protect the football. Run the ball. Make Philly earn EVERYTHING.Except by the end?
It wasn’t ugly at all.
It was a statement.
