Now comes the hard part: doing it again, this time against one of the best arms in all of football. Chicago is slated to duel with the Chargers on "Sunday Night Football," presenting Bagent with the unenviable task of attempting to keep up with the golden arm of Los Angeles starter Justin Herbert.
That's easier said than done. Despite recent struggles — Herbert has four interceptions in his last three games — the Bolts side-winder is capable of putting the ball on a plate for his receivers time and time again.
That is a method Bagent is still getting used to. But he'll get another crack at it soon, this time under the glare of a "Sunday Night Football" marquee.
