Tyson Bagent Leads Bears To Victory Over The Raiders
1 year agoChicago Bears quarterback Tyson Bagent stepped into the starting role in Sunday's game against the Raiders, filling in for the injured Justin Fields (thumb). The undrafted rookie delivered a solid performance, completing 21 of 29 passes for 162 yards and throwing his first career touchdown in the Bears' 30-12 win over the Raiders. He also displayed some mobility, carrying the ball thrice for 24 yards on the ground. Bagent's approach was conservative, with his longest completion covering just 17 yards, but his careful management of the game ensured that the Bears' running game remained in control. The Bears are set to face the Chargers next week, a team that has allowed the most points to quarterbacks this season. If Fields is unable to return, Bagent will likely get another start. Expect a similar conservative game plan for the rookie, making him a streaming option only in superflex formats.
