Packers Launch High School Cancer Initiative at 2 Wisconsin Schools

Q: Will Tyson Bagent's notorious road struggles cost the Bears their recent rivalry dominance against a desperate Green Bay squad?

Yes—Bagent’s road issues could be a major reason Chicago’s recent edge in the rivalry stalls, but only if Green Bay does its part. The setup favors the Packers. Bagent is 0-2 as a road starter, and the concern is not just the record but the mistakes away from home: turnover problems, limited scoring output and shakier play under pressure. Lambeau is a difficult environment for any backup quarterback, and this is a Bears offense that may be missing some of its usual rushing support with Kyle Monangai out and D’Andre Swift less than fully healthy. If Chicago cannot lean on its ground game as heavily as usual, Bagent may be forced into a larger passing role, which is where Green Bay has an opening. That said, the Packers cannot count on Bagent to lose the game for Chicago. He just showed against the Jets that he can manage the offense efficiently, complete throws in rhythm and control tempo, even if he also benefited from some dropped or erased interceptions. Ben Johnson’s scheme has also helped protect the quarterback with motion, play-action and a run-first structure. The bigger question is whether Green Bay can finally play clean football. The Packers still have to stop Chicago’s run game, protect Jordan Love behind a shaky offensive line, improve a struggling rushing attack of their own and cut penalties. If they do that, Bagent’s road history becomes a real swing factor. If they don’t, Chicago has enough structure around him to extend its recent success.
