The Chicago Bears, rolling with their *third-string quarterback* Case Keenum and playing without Caleb Williams, just absolutely demolished the Philadelphia Eagles 27-7. That’s right, twenty-seven to seven. This wasn’t just a win; it was a statement that punched the Eagles right in the gut and has Chicago sitting pretty at 2-1 on the season.
Keenum’s Unbelievable Night Shocks Everyone
Keenum, man, he was unbelievable. Dude went 24 of 34 passing for 247 yards, threw two touchdowns, and didn’t even cough up an interception. Plus, he added a rushing touchdown for 7 yards! He opened the scoring, brilliantly guiding the Bears down the field on their first drive, ending with Luther Burden III willing his way into the end zone. You gotta give massive credit to Ben Johnson’s play-calling and play design there; it was a masterclass.
Yeah, the first half had some sloppy moments. We saw Colston Loveland tackled just short of the goal line, Rome Odunze dropped a super easy touchdown grab, and the Bears even got stopped on a fourth-down attempt, all on the same drive! You think they’d regret those blown red zone chances. But then in the second half, the Bears just took over. Kalif Raymond snagged a touchdown on a 6-reception, 90-yard night, and their defense completely suffocated Philly’s offense. D’Andre Swift had 84 rushing yards, too. And Keenum? He capped off his brilliant night with a quarterback sneak for a touchdown in the fourth quarter, a final twist of irony against those “Tush Push” Eagles. What a fantastic victory without Williams.
Eagles’ Nightmare Returns: Penalties, Turnovers, and Doubt
The Eagles, on the other hand, well, they looked like a mess. Jalen Hurts managed only 16 completions on 25 attempts for a measly 153 yards, zero touchdowns, and one interception. Even his rushing touchdown for 25 yards couldn’t save them. Seriously, they threw an interception right in the end zone when backup Andy Dalton briefly stepped in while Hurts was getting checked for a possible concussion. It was ugly. Saquon Barkley was held to 82 rushing yards, and DeVonta Smith led receivers with 6 receptions for 65 yards.
Philly did get a brief spark late in the first half when Hurts led a 67-yard scoring drive in just a minute and 32 seconds, finishing it with a quarterback sneak. But that was about it. The Chicago defense, highlighted by a T.J. Edwards interception, just shut them down after halftime. This loss is gonna cause some serious angst, the exact same feeling Eagles fans had last season when their talented team totally lost its way in the second half of the 2025 campaign. Penalties, turnovers, bizarre coaching decisions,they absolutely killed themselves. This game provides plenty of fodder for sports-talk radio in the City of Brotherly Love, but more importantly, it casts some real doubts about whether the Eagles are actually true contenders this season. They just look lost.
So what’s next after this crazy Monday night? The Bears are riding high into a home game against the New York Jets on Sunday. As for the Eagles, they’ve got to regroup fast, hosting the Rams on the same day. This isn’t just one loss for Philly; it’s a giant flashing sign that says they might be heading down that same frustrating road from last year. Are they contenders, or are they pretenders? We’re gonna find out quick.
