Undrafted Bears rookie quarterback Tyson Bagent stole the show against the Colts, leaving the door open for the former Division II star to win the team's backup job.
who stole the show against the Colts upon orchestrating a 17-play, 92-yard drive capped off by the former Division II quarterback running in a 2-yard touchdown. On a night where most of Chicago's starters sat, including Fields, Bagent opened the door for a new backup QB to emerge in the conversation.
"I think everything's open right now," coach Matt Eberflus said."I really do. I think if you have a closed mind, then if somebody is rising or executing, you always never put a ceiling on any player. There's never that. You always look for the best in every guy and you'll see guys, all of a sudden they'll get into a game and they start rising up and it's easy for them and they can execute in that moment and in those moments.
Asked specifically whether Bagent could beat out Walker and Peterman for the No. 2 role in Chicago, Eberflus reiterated that the competition remains open. "Everything's open right now," Eberflus said."Everybody can look at the roster and see who's in a competition. Those are all going to be open. If you close your mind off to that, then you might be missing on something. So you have to let it play itself out."
