Bears Beat Eagles 27-7 as Keenum Starts for Williams

The Chicago Bears defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 27-7 on Monday night at Soldier Field, handing Philadelphia its first loss of the 2026 season, according to a postgame account. Chicago won despite being without starting quarterback Caleb Williams, who had been sidelined with a hamstring injury, while Case Keenum started in his place. The result reversed the expectations reflected in several pregame reports, which described Philadelphia as undefeated and favored. One pregame model projected a 22-18 Eagles victory and gave Philadelphia a 63.4% chance to win, based on 10,000 simulations. That projection was a forecast, not a final result. The postgame account said Philadelphia fell to 2-1 and Chicago improved to 2-1. It reported that the Bears controlled possession by more than 12 minutes, while the Eagles converted two of nine third-down attempts and committed two turnovers. Those details, like the final score, appear in the supplied postgame reporting but are not independently confirmed by an official game record in the available material. Keenum completed 24 of 34 passes for 247 yards and two passing touchdowns, according to the same account. He also scored on a rushing play.
