The Minneapolis Miracle will be a sports moment that will never die as long as human history continues to exist. The play broke the internet, shattered ear drums inside of U.S. Bank Stadium, and helped usher in a new generation of Vikings fans. Fast forward to 2025, one half of that memorable play is now returning to the NFC North to play for a Vikings division rival.
Quarterback Case Keenum is expected to sign a one-year deal with the Chicago Bears. Keenum will backup franchise quarterback Caleb Williams and give the team a veteran behind their young quarterback to help his development.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter was the first to report the signings on Thursday.
Keenum played for the Vikings for one year in 2017 and went 11-3 as the team’s starting quarterback. He passed for 3,547 yards and 22 touchdowns and helped the Vikings make the NFC Championship game before eventually losing to the Philadelphia Eagles, the eventual Super Bowl Champions.
