Chicago Bears will start quarterback Case Keenum in the NFL Week 3 Monday Night Football game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Keenum is the third string Bears quarterback on the depth chart. The 38-year-old has not started a game or thrown a pass in the NFL since 2023.
Fans had plenty to say about Keenum’s outfit and demeanor as he arrived at Soldier Field.

One fan wrote: “Looking like an angry dad at a parent teacher conference whew.”
Another wrote: “Case Keenum is dressed like Joe Midwestern Dad. For all us dads who make that same grunt getting up from the sofa, we are rooting for you tonight.”
MLFootball said: “CASE KEENUM ARRIVING FOR TONIGHT’S GAME LOOKING LIKE YOUR DAD AFTER THE PRINCIPAL ASKED HIM TO COME IN.”
A fan posted: “Looks like hes on his way to go narrate Deadliest catch..”
He has a lot of fan support with one person saying: “He definitely repping for us Dads out there that take 10-20 minutes to get out the car and into the house”
Others wondered what he was carrying in the paper bag.
One fan noted: “Looks like his wife packed him a lunch!”
There is plenty of geniune curiosity about what Keenum can do. Will he be rusty? The Bears are his eighth team in a 14 year career that has been the hallmark of longevity, but even he has to be surprised to get the call to start in this situation.
