Matt Eberflus gave a very familiar quote on Tyson Bagent showing that he didn’t fall from the Lovie Smith Cover-2 defensive scheme apple tree.
Lovie Smith famously said “Rex is our quarterback” after dealing with an up and down career with the Chicago Bears. As Grossman would continuously struggle, Smith would reinterate what Matt Eberflus stated today about Justin Fields. “Justin is our quarterback.” after Tyson Bagent won his first start in resounding fashion over the Las Vegas Raiders.

Bagent finished 21-29 for 162 yards and one touchdown in the Bears 30-12 win.
