Innovative Game Plan

During a recent NFL matchup, Chicago Bears coach Ben Johnson employed an unconventional approach by starting both Case Keenum and Tyson Bagent. On the first snap of the game, Keenum was responsible for the initial play, with Bagent positioned at wide receiver.

Game Outcomes and Rule Clarifications

Although Keenum’s involvement was limited to that one snap, he has been credited with the start and the team’s victory, as confirmed by the NFL. According to an NFL spokesperson, the Elias Sports Bureau clarified the rule stipulating that a player who takes the first snap is deemed the starter, regardless of any other players’ positioning on the field.

“Good for him,” Johnson stated after the Bears’ commendable 23-12 victory, in response to the news that the win would be attributed to Keenum. “I think the team gets credited for a win.”

Performance Insights

In terms of career statistics, Case Keenum now holds a record of 32 wins and 36 losses, boasting a 2-0 record with the Bears as their starter this season. Meanwhile, Tyson Bagent’s record stands at 2 wins and 2 losses.

Next Steps for the Quarterbacks
