The Philadelphia Eagles got a Monday night scare in more ways than one — and only one of them ended with good news. Quarterback Jalen Hurts was pulled for a concussion evaluation in the second quarter, then returned to the field, but it didn't matter: Chicago's third-string quarterback wrecked Philadelphia's night anyway, and the Eagles limped home with a 27-7 blowout loss.

Hurts went down after a hard out-of-bounds hit from Bears linebacker D'Marco Jackson, prompting the game's independent concussion spotter to flag him for the medical tent, according to BVM Sports. He was cleared and back on the field within minutes — but backup Andy Dalton threw an interception during the window Hurts was out, a sequence the Philadelphia Inquirer called a symbol of the Eagles' entire night.

Keenum's Revenge Game

The real gut-punch came from the other sideline. Case Keenum, Chicago's 38-year-old third-string quarterback making his first regular-season start since 2023 after starter Caleb Williams went down injured, shredded Philadelphia's defense for 247 yards, two passing touchdowns and a rushing score on a quarterback sneak — good for a 110.8 passer rating, per ESPN's box score.

Hurts, for his part, finished a modest 16 of 25 for 153 yards with an interception and a 64.2 rating. Afterward he brushed off any lingering concern about the head injury.

"I THINK PRACTICALLY, EMOTIONALLY, AND COMPETITIVELY, I'M IN THE RIGHT PLACE TO GO OUT THERE AND COMPETE."

Head coach Nick Sirianni also defended his decision to trust a clearly rattled offense with a QB sneak late in the game: "I trust him in those situations to make the right decision, and he did." It wasn't enough to salvage the scoreboard — Philadelphia was shut out in the second half and finished with 248 total yards to Chicago's dominant showing.

The loss drops the Eagles to 2-1 and saddles them with a minus-5 turnover differential, tied for second-worst in the NFL through three weeks, according to NBC Sports. Philadelphia was flagged ten times for 61 yards, several on holding calls against a secondary that had no answer for Keenum's night of his life.

For a team many pegged as a contender entering the season, getting outclassed by a backup-of-a-backup quarterback on national television is the kind of loss that lingers. The Eagles now turn to a Week 4 matchup still needing to answer the same question that dogged them Monday night: can they hang onto the football long enough to matter?
