Undrafted rookie QB Tyson Bagent, in his third straight start, falls short in the fourth quarter after initially outplaying the Saints' top-rated defense.

Undrafted rookie quarterback Tyson Bagent had a strong performance for nearly three quarters, but notable mistakes in the fourth quarter, including two interceptions and a lost fumble, resulted in the Bears' 24-17 loss to the Saints.
Despite Bagent's errors, the Bears managed to outgain the Saints 368-301 in total yards, with Bagent delivering 220 yards passing and 70 yards rushing.
