Bears Called out for Making QB Mistake Before Jets Game

The Chicago Bears and head coach Ben Johnson are facing criticism over reports that Tyson Bagent will start at quarterback against the New York Jets. NFL Insider Tom Pelissero reported on October 3, 2026, that indications point to Bagent starting over veteran Case Keenum, drawing skepticism from analysts and opposing players.

Critics argue that Chicago should stick with the experienced Keenum, who performed well in Week 3 against Philadelphia. Bagent holds four career NFL starts with three touchdowns and six interceptions, while Keenum possesses 67 career starts across a 15-year career.
