Keenum (30 of 43 for 331 yards) also fumbled three times (two lost) and took four sacks against a vaunted Chicago defense.”according to https://www.redskins.com/news/redskins-bears-week-3-game-recap

After scoring just 19 points in their first two contests, the Bears rattled off 28 in the opening two periods Monday night. The Redskins (0-3) countered with a single field goal and just 90 yards of total offense.”according to https://www.redskins.com/news/redskins-bears-week-3-game-recap
