Tyson Bagent Won a Game, But His Own Words Reveal a Major Problem for Chicago Against Green Bay

The Chicago Bears just pulled off something wild, becoming the only team this season to get a victory with three different quarterbacks. Tyson Bagent stepped up and got the win against the New York Jets, but let’s be real, it wasn’t exactly a masterpiece. Bagent finished the game with 268 passing yards, zero touchdowns, and one interception. Here’s the kicker: even after the win, he was quick to admit he felt he left a ton of plays on the field.

Bagent Knows He Blew It: “Didn’t Pull the Trigger”

You gotta respect a QB who can look in the mirror, even after a win. Bagent’s straight-up honesty after the Jets game is telling. He said he felt there were “some opportunities for some big plays down the field that I didn’t pull the trigger on.” Think about that for a second. While he did hit Rome Odunze for a 37-yard bomb and Luther Burden III for 22 yards, Bagent is saying he could have done more. He clearly feels he missed out on even bigger shots. “There’s a handful of them,” Bagent stated, adding that when those moments show up, he’s “obviously have got to take it.” He called himself “a little quick to get down to the checkdown” and knows that “can’t be the case going forward.” He’s got to be better, plain and simple.

Four Interceptions and Zero Luck Against Lambeau’s Defense

Here’s the scary part of Bagent’s performance against the Jets: he actually threw four interceptions. Yeah, you read that right. Four. Only one counted because New York got penalized on the other three. That’s the kind of luck you just can’t bank on, especially not in the NFL. And it’s definitely not the kind of luck you’ll get this week when Chicago rolls into Lambeau Field to face the Green Bay Packers. Bagent is making his second start of the season, and it’s a huge test. Green Bay’s pass defense is legit, and those “critical mistakes” Bagent made against the Jets, even the uncounted ones, will get absolutely punished by the Packers. Chicago is looking for their third straight win over their rivals and their first win at Lambeau since Ben Johnson took over as Green Bay’s head coach.

This next game is massive. Bagent absolutely has to take advantage of every single opportunity that comes his way and, more importantly, he cannot, under any circumstances, make those critical mistakes he got away with last week. The environment in Lambeau is no joke, and the Packers won’t be handing out any free passes.
