Forget the incredible Monday night win, Chicago fans: Ben Johnson just dropped seven words that make the quarterback situation for Week 4 as clear as mud. His statement, “We’ll see how it plays out all week,” is all we got, leaving everyone hanging on who will line up under center against the Jets.
Keenum’s Electric Monday Night Emergence
What makes this radio silence so wild is the performance we just witnessed. Case Keenum, who was third on the depth chart heading into the week and hadn’t started a game since 2023, absolutely balled out on Monday night. He put on a terrific show, leading Chicago to a dominant 27-7 win over Philadelphia. The guy completed 24-of-34 passes for a solid 247 yards, tossed two touchdowns, and even ran one in himself. That’s a serious performance, especially coming from a backup thrust into action.
A QB Room Full of Questions
So, why the mystery after such a strong outing? Well, the quarterback room is a mess of uncertainty. Tyson Bagent has been cleared from concussion protocol, so he’s an option. Then there’s starter Caleb Williams, who’s nursing a hamstring injury, and we still don’t know if he’ll be recovered enough to play this week. Johnson remained mum on his plans for Week 4 after Keenum’s heroics, and get this, he wasn’t even asked directly about the QB situation at the top of the week.
Johnson is slated to meet with the Chicago media on Wednesday. You know darn well that’s going to be the main topic. With the Jets coming to town for Week 4, the big question isn’t just who starts, but what this early season decision means for the team’s momentum and identity moving forward.
