Ben Johnson: Tyson Bagent could never get in a rhythm today

Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson made a notable decision during Sunday’s loss to the Green Bay Packers, pulling starting quarterback Tyson Bagent in the third quarter after he threw his second interception of the game. Johnson admitted Bagent struggled to find his rhythm throughout the contest, with the coaching staff ultimately opting to insert Case Keenum in an attempt to spark a late comeback.

The move came after Bagent’s second turnover, prompting Johnson to say the team wanted to explore different outcomes with a change at quarterback. Meanwhile, Johnson hinted that starting quarterback Caleb Williams could return from a hamstring injury as soon as next week’s matchup against the Atlanta Falcons, though the Bears have not yet decided between Bagent or Keenum if Williams remains sidelined.

The coaching staff will evaluate the quarterback situation further this week as they assess the reasons behind Bagent’s inconsistent performance.
