Johnson benches Bagent, cites lack of rhythm

Ben Johnson: Tyson Bagent never found a rhythm todayBears coach Ben Johnson benches quarterback Tyson Bagent during the loss to Green Bay.

Ben Johnson pulled Tyson Bagent early as Chicago fell to the Packers, then noted the QB never seemed in sync.

Bagent struggled all night, and after his second pick on the final third‑quarter drive Johnson finally swapped him for Case Keenum. In my view the move was unavoidable.

“We just wanted a spark,” Johnson explained. “Tyson just couldn’t find a rhythm today. After the second interception we decided to give Case a chance and see if the results changed.”

Will the Bears start Caleb Williams next Sunday if he’s cleared, or stick with Keenum?
