​Case Keenum started at quarterback for the Chicago Bearsin Week 3 after Caleb Williams suffered a Grade 2 hamstring injury last week. With Williams out, Keenum played shockingly well for someone who hadn’t played in an NFL game in over a thousand days. In fact, he played so well the Bears beat the Philadelphia Eagles and Chicago fans are going to be excited to see him do it again next Sunday.After the game Keenum joined Scott Van Pelt on “SportsCenter.” They were in turn joined by Keenum’s daughter Cadence. What followed was a wholesome, appreciative interview with the quarterback and some adorable moments with his daughter peppered throughout. Golly, indeed.
