Tyson Bagent started at quarterback for the Chicago Bears in Week 4, leading the team to a 23-12 victory over the New York Jets. While Bagent completed 25 of 34 passes for 268 yards and one interception, assessments of his performance were mixed. One review noted he "didn't exactly play his way back into a start," while another described the outing as "fascinating," indicating that despite the win, the quarterback situation remains unresolved.
Bagent's performance was marked by inconsistencies; he ran for just one yard on four carries and was fortunate to have only one interception, as four others were negated by Jets penalties. Critics pointed out that he "often didn't make the right decision," highlighting the tension between his production and shaky moments. The Bears' strong rushing attack, which combined for over 200 yards, helped mitigate some of Bagent's struggles.
As the Bears improve to 3-1, each victory has come with a different starting quarterback, intensifying the debate over who should lead the team moving forward. Bagent's performance, graded as a C+, leaves the Bears with more questions than answers regarding their quarterback situation, especially in light of Case Keenum's stronger showing against the Eagles.
