Case Keenum may have delivered the clutch performance, but his daughter Cadence stole the show. That was after the Chicago Bears’ Monday night victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. With Caleb Williams sidelined by a hamstring injury and Tyson Bagent unavailable because of concussion protocol, the 38-year-old veteran stepped into the spotlight. He provided the Bears with steady quarterback play.
THIS IS GOLD: Case Keenum’s daughter Cadence was asked by Scott Van Pelt on SportsCenter whether she wanted to watch Bluey tomorrow or rewatch her dad’s incredible game.
Cadence did not hesitate:
“The game.”
She was raised right.

Afterward, Keenum joked about unwinding with his family, telling reporters, “I'm going to have fun watching the game with them tomorrow on the couch… or probably just Bluey.”
That prompted ESPN’s Scott Van Pelt to later put Cadence on the spot during the postgame coverage. Van Pelt asked whether she would rather watch the popular Australian cartoon or rewatch her father’s performance.
Her response was instant and hilariously straightforward: “The game.”
The answer sent Van Pelt and Keenum into laughter while quickly becoming one of the most memorable moments from Chicago’s night. It was a fitting ending to an emotional evening for Keenum. His experience became invaluable with the Bears suddenly shorthanded at quarterback. While the veteran handled his responsibilities under center, Cadence provided the unexpected highlight.
Keenum has built one of the NFL’s most remarkable journeyman careers since entering the league in 2012. He became a household name during Minnesota’s 2017 season. He went 11-3 as a starter and threw the iconic “Minneapolis Miracle” touchdown against New Orleans. Since then, Keenum has served as a starter, bridge quarterback, and mentor with Denver, Washington, Cleveland, Buffalo and Houston. He has surpassed 15,000 passing yards and 80 total touchdowns. His latest emergency opportunity in Chicago offered another reminder of his veteran value.
