Case Keenum's big night gives Good Morning Football another sprint
A day after Alshon Jeffery argued on the same show that Jalen Hurts is the league's best quarterback, the talk has turned to the Eagles losing in Chicago.
NFL Network's morning show has a new favorite subject. "Case Keenum was READY!" is Good Morning Football's rundown of the biggest takeaways from the Bears beating the Eagles, and fifteen hours after it went up it had passed 53,000 views.
That is roughly fourteen times what a new upload on the channel usually gathers in a full first day. It is also a sharp change of mood from the video that led the channel just before it, in which former Eagles receiver Alshon Jeffery made his case for Jalen Hurts. This time the Eagles are on the losing side, and the headline belongs to a veteran on the other sideline. The channel as a whole is running well above its usual daily pace.
The title gives the credit to Keenum, a quarterback long known for being ready when called on. His best-remembered moment is the Minnesota Miracle, the last-second touchdown pass to Stefon Diggs that won the Vikings a playoff game against the Saints in January 2018.
