"Tyson threw a great ball," Walker shared. "He threw me open, because I got held up at the line a little bit, but I kept fighting through it, and I saw the ball and just adjusted to it. It was a great pass and great hold up by the O-line.
"Tyson trusts me and I trust Tyson. We've always had a good bond because we both came from D-II, so we know the struggle, and we know the grind. We already had that connection, so that's my guy. We've got great chemistry. And I just want it to keep building."
What was arguably more impressive to Walker than Bagent's picture-perfect touchdown pass: his quarterback's laser-focused mentality as the Bears offense navigated through a high-pressure two-minute situation.
"Watching how he poised he was in the huddle, he was like, 'guys, lock in,'" Walker said. "He'd call the formation, call the play and you could just tell how poised he was and how ready he was for the moment. He deserves everything that's coming his way."
Bagent played the entire second half, taking over after Caleb Williams orchestrated a touchdown drive to end the first half and close the Chiefs' lead to 20-10.
After two scoreless drives in the third quarter, Bagent went on to the lead three consecutive touchdown drives — a feat he also accomplished last Sunday against the Bills at Soldier Field. The first score was a 2-yard dart to running back Royce Freeman to cap off a 59-yard drive, while the second TD came courtesy of a 3-yard pass to tight end Joel Wilson, who was wide open at the goal line.
Bagent completed 20 of 28 pass attempts for 212 yards and three scores, earning a 128.9 rating and topping last week's rating of 103.6, which at the time would have been the highest of his career.
Following his standout performance against the Bills, Bagent solidified his spot as Williams' backup by signing a two-year contract extension. Following practice Wednesday, the team celebrated with Bagent, who broke down the huddle and earned plenty of cheers from his teammates.
