There was little difference Thursday night between the Bears’ undrafted rookie and the quarterback the Panthers drafted first overall in April.
Whether that’s high praise for Tyson Bagent or damning of Bryce Young won’t be known for another year or two. The Bears’ first look at what might have been, though, probably produced little envy at Halas Hall. The Bears won 16-13 in a slog, with Bagent outperforming the former Alabama star. Bagent went 20-for-33 for 162 yards and a 73 passer rating. Young went 21-for-38 for 185 yards and a 68.4 rating.
