Case Keenum’s first NFL start since 2023 became a statement night: 24-of-34, 247 yards, two touchdown passes, and a 1-yard rushing score in Chicago’s 27-7 Monday Night Football win over Philadelphia at Soldier Field. Caleb Williams was inactive with a Grade 2 hamstring strain, handing the veteran the keys against one of the league’s sharper early-season defenses.

Chicago led 10-7 at half after Luther Burden III’s 8-yard touchdown catch and a Cairo Santos 29-yard field goal, with Jalen Hurts answering on a 1-yard sneak as time expired. After the break, Santos hit from 48, Kalif Raymond took a 41-yard strike, and Keenum plunged in from a yard out. Philadelphia finished with 248 yards and three turnovers; Chicago held the ball for nearly 37 minutes.

Both teams sit 2-1. Minnesota still leads the NFC North at 3-0. Fantasy and injury desks now pivot to Williams’ week-to-week status. Rewatch and box score remain on ESPN’s game page.

ESPN’s final box and league scoreboards agree Chicago won 27-7 with Keenum starting.

Whether Williams returns in Week 4 — and whether Keenum has earned a longer leash — remains open.
