Chicago Bears QB Tyson Bagent is confident executing the game plan in his 2nd start: ‘I don’t want to put any limits’

When he gets on the field, that melts away into the confidence that has impressed teammates.“On my way home from the facility, I’m just kind of thinking about what I need to study tonight,” Bagent said. “And I just am kind of eager to get it done and learned and my mind wrapped around it, so I’m able to go the next day.”It’s understandable if Bagent is charged up this week as he transitions from earning a win in his first NFL start against the Las Vegas Raiders to pr...
