Bears expected to start inexperienced QB – Can Jets take advantage?

The Chicago Bears are reportedly expected to start quarterback Tyson Bagent against the New York Jets in place of the injured Caleb Williams. Writer MacGregor Wells argues that starting the inexperienced Bagent over veteran Case Keenum presents an opportunity for the Jets' defense to exploit.

Keenum led Chicago to a 27-7 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles last week, completing 24 of 34 passes for 247 yards and two touchdowns. In contrast, Bagent has not started an NFL contest since his 2023 rookie season, during which he threw three touchdowns and six interceptions across four starts.
