Bears Rookie Tyson Bagent Starts Against Chargers in Sunday Night Football

Undrafted Rookie QB Tyson Bagent, Who Led the Bears to Victory in His First NFL Start, to Face the Chargers' Lowest-ranked Pass Defense, with Both Teams Aiming to Snap Their Losing Streaks.

Bears' rookie quarterback, Tyson Bagent, initially undrafted from Division II Shepherd University, gets a second start following his successful first NFL start leading the Bears to a 30-12 victory over the Raiders - Chicago's only win in a three-game run since a 14-game losing streak.
Bagent, who completed 72.4 percent of his passes with a touchdown in his NFL debut, will face the Chargers' defense that is currently the weakest against passing in the league, allowing an average of 310 yards per game.
Both the Bears and the Chargers are hanging by a thread with a 2-5 and 2-4 win record respectively, making their upcoming game a crucial breakout opportunity to snap their losing streaks.
The matchup will see a returning Khalil Mack, currently tied as the fourth-highest sacker in the league, face his former team after being traded to the Chargers - potentially putting pressure on Bagent, given Mack's previous record of setting a franchise record for sacks against a team starting a rookie QB.
Running back for the Bears, D'Onta Foreman, showing promising form with 89 yards from 16 attempts and three touchdowns in last week's game, is hoped to challenge the Chargers ground defense which has struggled in their recent games.
