The Chicago Bears put together a dominant performance against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football, where third-string quarterback Case Keenum led the way for a 27-7 win to push the team to 2-1 on the season.
The Bears jumped out to a 7-0 lead on their first possession, and they never looked back. Keenum operated Ben Johnson's offense to perfection, throwing for 247 yards and two touchdowns, as well as rushing for a score in the fourth quarter. The offensive line had a strong showing and played a key role in the win. Meanwhile, the Eagles were held to one touchdown -- a last-second Tush Push at the end of the first half -- as Chicago's defense made a statement and held an opponent to nine or fewer points for the second straight game.
Following the game, the Bears social team released a video inside the winning locker room, where head coach Ben Johnson addressed his team after their statement Week 3 victory.
Head coach Ben Johnson handed out two game balls in the locker room -- defensive coordinator Dennis Allen (and his entire defense) and quarterback Case Keenum. Johnson said he couldn't single out just one player on defense, so he elected to give the game ball to the entire unit and Allen. After a rough Week 1 showing, they've allowed an average 8.0 points per game in the last two games and have totaled six takeaways this season. Meanwhile, Keenum stepped up in a big way with a sensational performance that showed the depth on this team.
