In a surprising performance, Case Keenum led the Chicago Bears to a 27-7 win against the Philadelphia Eagles on September 28. Keenum, stepping in for the injured Caleb Williams, completed 24 of 34 passes for 247 yards, with two passing touchdowns and one rushing touchdown. Williams is recovering from a Grade 2 hamstring strain, typically a three to four-week recovery. Given Keenum's successful outing, Bears management is considering allowing Williams more time to heal. The Bears are set to face the New York Jets next week, with no confirmed starter yet for that game.
