INGLEWOOD, Calif. — Bears rookie quarterback Tyson Bagent said he had a cannon. On the first play Sunday against the Chargers, who fire blanks from a wheeled cannon every time they score, he showed it off.
One week after Bagent dinked-and-dunked the Bears to a victory against the Raiders — he never threw farther downfield than 15 yards — he connected with receiver Darnell Mooney down the right sideline for a 41-yard gain to start the game. It could have been a touchdown, too. Mooney was whistled down despite appearing not to be touched by a defender while on the ground.
