Rookie Tyson Bagent helped lead the Chicago Bears to their first home win in more than a year with quarterback Justin Fields sidelined. Bagent is in line to be behind center again with Fields doubtful to play and likely missing his second consecutive game because of a dislocated right thumb, coach Matt Eberflus said Monday. Bagent delivered a steady performance in a 30-12 victory over Las Vegas on Sunday.

The Bears’ only drive of the third quarter Sunday was a slowly squeezing boa constrictor of a possession, choking the life out of the Raiders team that they led by 11 points.

Set aside the details and the big picture for a moment and enjoy what happened Sunday: A kid who grew up in the middle of nowhere West Virginia, played Division II and went undrafted just stepped up and won a game for the Bears as a rookie.

The Bears are still down their top two running backs and will go into the Raiders game with Foreman and Evans as their primary backs.

Throughout the offseason, they got constant questions about whether they’d put enough talent around Justin Fields to facilitate his growth into a star. Now it’s whether they’ve has built enough for Bagent to have half a chance.
