Case Keenum had a night to remember on Monday, complete with a new franchise record for the Chicago Bears.
With Caleb Williams sidelined by a hamstring injury and No. 2 quarterback Tyson Bagent fresh off a stint from the concussion protocol, the Bears went with veteran QB Keenum to handle the starting gig under center on Monday against the Philadelphia Eagles at Soldier Field in Chicago, Ill.
Keenum answered the call and reciprocated the Bears’ trust in him by putting together a memorable performance in leading Chicago to a 27-7 victory.
That performance included something perhaps not even Keenum saw coming, as he ended a seven-year personal drought for his first rushing touchdown of the decade.
His score with over seven minutes left in the fourth quarter made him the oldest player (38 years and 223 days) in Bears franchise history to score a rushing touchdown, according to Courtney Cronin of ESPN.
Here is a look at that 3rd-and-goal score by Keenum to dig the Eagles a deeper hole.

Keenum has never been known for his wheels or ability to find the end zone with his legs, but he did so on that occasion, albeit for just a yard. Before that, the last time he scored a rushing touchdown was in 2019, when he was still with the then-Washington Redskins.
All told, Keenum had 247 passing yards and two touchdowns without a turnover on 24/34 completions versus the Eagles.
