Drake Maye didn't play Monday night, but the New England Patriots quarterback still became part of the conversation after Case Keenum delivered a strong performance for the Chicago Bears.
Keenum made his first NFL start since 2023 while replacing the injured Caleb Williams. The 38-year-old quarterback helped Chicago beat the Philadelphia Eagles 27-7 at Soldier Field, throwing two touchdown passes and adding a rushing score.
The performance quickly drew comparisons to Maye, who has struggled to produce touchdowns during the Patriots' first three games.
Keenum finished with three total touchdowns and no interceptions. Maye has one passing touchdown, six interceptions, and two lost fumbles through three games. Those numbers led to plenty of discussion on social media about New England's quarterback play.
Soon after Keenum’s massive MNF start, social media timelines filled with the comparison between the two.
