Bears' Tyson Bagent wows in Chicago's 30-12 win over Raiders. What Bears Twitter is saying
The Chicago Bears snapped a 10-game losing streak at home behind 3 touchdowns from RB D'Onta Foreman, but all anyone wanted to talk about was the play of rookie quarterback Tyson Bagent.
Bagent filled in valiantly for starter Justin Fields, who will miss 2-3 weeks with a dislocated thumb.
The rookie out of Shepherd University had a nearly flawless game, completing 21-of-29 passes for 162 yards, a touchdown and no turnovers. He also added 3 carries for 24 yards.

Tyson Bagent is a game manager right now for sure but he gives the #Bears a better chance to win than Justin Fields. Imagine saying that about a UDFA making his first start. #DaBears @ChicagoBears

Idk if we’re seeing a Brock Purdy/Trey Lance type of thing at work
But I will say this, Tyson Bagent had a great game under center
Managed the game and made the throws
I wouldn’t rush Justin back from injury
And Bears fans need to let this all play out day by day#DaBears pic.twitter.com/SYoeVzmLLy— 𝙉𝙞𝙘𝙠 🃏 (@StonecoldSxnick) October 22, 2023
This #DaBears team should have beaten Denver and Minnesota and should have four wins right now. I just wish they'd quit trying to squeeze a square peg into a round hole with JF1. Fit the game plan to his talents and let him thrive, just as you did with #TysonBagent today. pic.twitter.com/etXLUIPTxx

Are the Chicago Bears 1-0 with Tyson Bagent as a starter? Yes.
But they are also 1-0 since Rose got her new Bears collar. I’ll let you decide which one had the bigger impact on the game today #DaBears pic.twitter.com/OdTfp59HwK— Ryan Woodall (@WoodyRYW) October 22, 2023
I liked what Tyson Bagent did today. I want to see more before I call him the long term solution. I don’t think there’s any way the Bears can go back to Justin Fields if Bagent keeps improving every week. Let’s see how Bagent adjusts to the league adjusting to him. #DaBears #NFL

We can talk about what it means and all that later on. Who cares for today. Tyson Bagent played a VERY good football game and won. Not everything needs to be a debate or discussion immediately. Enjoy it and enjoy it for the player. #DaBears pic.twitter.com/CjIoqhFnSK
