The Chicago Bears were defeated by the Indianapolis Colts, 24-17, in a game where Bears starters didn’t play. That allowed more opportunities for players further down the depth chart to impress, including one rookie in particular.
The biggest storyline to come out of this game is undrafted rookie quarterback Tyson Bagent, who made a strong case to unseat P.J. Walker for the backup QB job. Bagent has impressed all summer, especially during his one series against the Colts in the second quarter. He orchestrated a 17-play, 92-yard scoring drive, completing 7-of-8 passes for 61 yards and a 2-yard rushing touchdown.
There was plenty to break down following Chicago’s loss to Indianapolis, especially the sudden QB2 controversy. Our Bears Wire staff is sharing their thoughts following the Week 2 preseason outing.
