The Bears had no Caleb Williams and no Tyson Bagent, so they started a 38-year-old third-stringer on Monday Night Football and handled the Eagles 27-7 anyway. Case Keenum threw two touchdowns and snuck in a third, becoming just the second quarterback to win starts for seven different teams. First-round rookie Dillon Thieneman picked off Andy Dalton's only pass of the night in the end zone, and Philly managed 62 yards of offense in the second half. (Also: a gentle reminder that betting on football is not a responsible financial strategy.)
Then we look at the first- and second-year players making an impact three weeks in: Cleveland's loaded rookie class, the Raiders' ball-hawking rookie Hezekiah Masses, Travis Hunter's first career pick, and the sophomores who are struggling. We finish with all eight division races and the Week 4 games that matter most, including an unbeaten showdown between the Chiefs and Raiders in Vegas.
