The Chicago Bears just dropped a 27-7 beatdown on the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football, and get this: they did it with third-string quarterback Case Keenum running the show! Seriously, everyone was counting out the Bears heading into this Week 3 matchup, especially with all the injuries at QB, but what a performance.
Ben Johnson Proved Why He’s an NFL Offensive Genius
If you needed proof that Ben Johnson is one of the best offensive play callers in the NFL, you just got it. He pulled off an inspired performance with a seriously depleted quarterback room, showing exactly why he’s considered such a good head coach. Philly had no answer for his scheme, even with Keenum under center. The guy is just cooking right now, and the league better be paying attention to what he’s building in Chicago.
Keenum Led the Offense While the Defense Went OFF
Case Keenum showed his veteran experience out there, executing the offense like a pro, even if the run game wasn’t at its best in the first half. But let’s talk about that defense for a minute! They had an absolutely outstanding outing. After holding the Minnesota Vikings to just nine points last week, they came out and held the Eagles to a single touchdown all game. It looked bleak early, sure, but Chicago’s defense bent but simply did not break, allowing only a surprise Tush Push as time expired in the first half. That’s some serious grit right there.
The Bears were handing out game balls to three standout performers after the win, going from “good” to “better” to “best.” It’s hard to argue with a dominant 27-7 win like that, especially when the whole league doubted you. This team is showing real fight, and that kind of win early in the season can build serious momentum.
