The Chicago Bears pulled out a victory over the Carolina Panthers in primetime, bringing their season record to 3-7.
They won despite not having Justin Fields for a fourth consecutive week.
Tyson Bagent has now led the Bears to two wins in his relief of Fields.
After seeing his performances thus far, Jeremy Fowler has decided on Bagent and his future in the NFL.

Fowler seems to believe that Bagent can find a spot on an NFL roster for the foreseeable future.
As a rookie taking over for Fields, his record is 2-2 as the starter.
He has thrown for 776 total yards in these games and rushed for a total of 105 yards.
Bagent has also thrown three touchdowns and five interceptions during these contests.
While he hasn’t been perfect, Fowler has liked what he has seen thus far and is hoping he gets a shot for a starting role in 2024 and beyond.
The Bears haven’t cracked the code to long-term success over the past several years.
Fields was supposed to come in and help get this team to the next level, which hasn’t happened yet.
He has shown flashes at times, including some massive performances at the beginning of the 2023 season.
However, his performances haven’t led the Bears to strings of wins, the statistic that means the most in the NFL.
Fields’ role as the Bears’ starting quarterback could be in jeopardy moving forward, especially if he struggles with health concerns.
Could this lead to a bigger role for Bagent as Fowler suggests?
