Why Keenum started
Starter Caleb Williams was out with a hamstring injury, according to the AP, NBC Sports and NFL.com. It was Keenum's first start since Christmas Eve 2023.
How the scoring went
Keenum finished Chicago's opening drive with an 8-yard shovel pass to Luther Burden. In the second quarter, rookie Dillon Thieneman intercepted Andy Dalton in the end zone while Hurts was off the field for a concussion check. Hurts came back and scored on a quarterback sneak on the final play of the half, making it 10-7.
After the break, Keenum hit a wide-open Kalif Raymond for a 41-yard touchdown. Keenum then capped a 13-play drive with a 1-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter. Raymond finished with six catches for 90 yards, and Burden had seven for 61. Linebacker T.J. Edwards intercepted Hurts on a fourth-down throw, and Tank Bigsby lost a fumble.
Philadelphia was flagged 10 times, according to both NBC Sports and NFL.com. Chicago had lost to Minnesota the week before.
What we could not confirm
- Total yards (375 to 248) and time of possession (36:53) appeared only in NBC Sports' recap.
- NFL.com says Keenum became the oldest player in Bears history to score a rushing touchdown. NBC Sports says he joined Ryan Fitzpatrick as the only quarterbacks to win starts for seven NFL teams. We found each claim in only one source.
- None of the sources we read said how long Williams will be out or who will start next week.
