It normally doesn’t take much to knock the Bears off balance and squash their typically thin path to victory, but they withstood the loss of starting quarterback Justin Fields thanks to a clean, clockwork performance by Tyson Bagent and beat the Raiders 30-12 at Soldier Field.
The Bears aren’t banking on Bagent to become their franchise quarterback. They just want to see what he can do while Fields is sidelined. What he showed them Sunday was encouraging, especially if Fields is going to miss more games as he recovers from a dislocated thumb on his throwing hand.
