Stellar performances by third-string quarterback Case Keenum and a stifling defense led the Bears to an impressive 27-7 win over the Eagles Monday night at Soldier Field.

Starting in place of the injured Caleb Williams, Keenum completed 24 of 34 passes for 247 yards with two touchdowns and a 110.8 passer rating. The 14-year NFL veteran also rushed for a TD in what was his first regular-season action since 2023.

Keenum started the game because Williams is sidelined with a hamstring injury and second-stringer Tyson Bagent was not cleared from concussion protocol until Sunday.

The Bears defense generated three takeaways, held Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts to 153 yards passing, a 64.2 rating and started the second half with three straight three-and-outs.

The Bears opened the game with an 11-play, 66-yard drive capped by Keenum's 8-yard touchdown pass to Luther Burden III. On third-and-2, Keenum flipped a shovel pass to Burden, who turned upfield, broke a tackle, ran into a pile, kept his legs churning, and with a push from left tackle Braxton Jones, powered into the end zone. Keenum completed 5 of 6 passes for 45 yards on the drive.

The Bears defense generated a takeaway on the Eagles' second possession. Austin Booker's "Peanut Punch" after a short Tank Bigsby reception resulted in a fumble that safety Xavier Woods recovered at the Philadelphia 15.

It appeared that the Bears had capitalized on the turnover when Keenum hit Colston Loveland for an apparent 6-yard TD pass. But after a replay review, Loveland was ruled down at the 1—and the offense was unable to get into the end zone.

D'Andre Swift was stopped for a 2-yard loss, Rome Odunze was unable to secure a pass in the end zone and Keenum's fourth-down throw intended for Burden was broken up by cornerback Quinyon Mitchell, turning the ball over on downs.

The Eagles marched from their own 3 to the Bears' 1. But Hurts exited during the drive to be evaluated for a concussion after getting hit by Devin Bush along the sideline. After the defense stopped Saquon Barkley back-to-back runs, rookie Dillon Thieneman intercepted backup Andy Dalton's pass in the back of the end zone on third-and-goal from the 2.

This time the Bears converted the turnover into Cairo Santos' 29-yard field goal, extending their lead to 10-0 with 1:52 remaining in the second quarter. The kick came after Keenum completed 5 of 7 passes for 75 yards on the drive.

The Eagles responded with an 8-play, 62-yard drive that was capped by Hurts' 1-yard TD on a tush push as time expired in the first half, cutting the deficit to 10-7.

The Bears played complementary football to start the second half; their defense forced back-to-back three-and-outs and their offense followed with Santos' 48-yard field goal and Keenum's 41-yard TD pass to Kalif Raymond, increasing their lead to 20-7 midway through the third quarter.

The defense followed with its third takeaway as T.J. Edwards intercepted a Hurts pass on fourth-and-5 from the Bears' 46 late in the third quarter.

Keenum's 1-yard TD burst up the middle on third-and-goal widened the margin to 27-7 with 7:19 remaining. The veteran quarterback sustained the drive when he drew defensive tackle Moro Ojomo offside on fourth-and-2 from the Eagles' 39.

The Bears will look to move to 3-1 next Sunday when they host the New York Jets at Soldier Field.
