Hosts Ryan O’Leary and Alyssa Barbieri react to Tyson Bagent’s first career start and weigh in on the Bagent-vs.-Justin Fields debate. It’s apology time for Ryan after he ripped the Bears last week for going with Bagent as the backup quarterback over a veteran who could aid in Justin Fields’ development. Other topics include D’Onta Foreman's impact on the running game and the remarkable turnaround of the Bears' defense. In the second segment, the hosts discuss the Bears-Chargers matchup with predictions against the spread and total.
