Tyson Bagent generated plenty of headlines in leading the Chicago Bears to a victory in his first NFL start. He will make his second start against the Chargers Sunday night.
Bagent and the Bears travel to Southern California to face the reeling Los Angeles Chargers Sunday night. Chicago has won two of three since a 14-game losing streak while Los Angeles has dropped two straight.
Bagent might still be an unknown to most fans after being undrafted out of Division II Shepherd University in West Virginia, but Chargers coach Brandon Staley did his share of homework on him leading up to last April's draft. Chicago has not won two straight since the 2021 regular-season finale, while Los Angeles is looking to avoid its first three-game skid since 2020.
"I think there's a lot of things that we can get better at. We've missed some opportunities. I've missed some opportunities. It starts with us getting better and understanding that we're in this position," Herbert said.The Bears have gone with six different combinations on their offensive line. And it looks like things could be in flux again.
If they stuck with that arrangement, they could have more juggling to do when right guard Nate Davis - out for the second week in a row - returns from a high ankle sprain.Linebacker Khalil Mack faces the Bears for the first time since he was traded to the Chargers last March. The last time Mack faced one of his former teams who was starting a rookie quarterback, he set a franchise record for sacks in a game.
The sixth-year pro ran for 89 yards on 16 attempts last week and tied a career high with three touchdowns - his first as a member of the Bears. He ran for two and a caught a TD pass.SECOND GEAR?
