The Chicago Bears defeated the Las Vegas Raiders 30-12 in a game featuring backup quarterbacks Tyson Bagent and Brian Hoyer. D'Onta Foreman ran for two touchdowns and caught a TD pass for the Bears.

The Chicago Bears emerged victorious in a game against the Las Vegas Raiders with a final score of 30-12. Despite starting quarterback Justin Fields being sidelined, rookie Tyson Bagent stepped up and led three touchdown drives for the Bears. D'Onta Foreman played a crucial role, running for two touchdowns and catching a TD pass. This win marks the Bears' second victory in three games, breaking a 14-game losing streak. Both teams had backup quarterbacks playing due to injuries to their starters. Fields dislocated his right thumb in a previous game against the Minnesota Vikings, while Las Vegas' Jimmy Garoppolo suffered a back problem in a win against the New England Patriots.

Brian Hoyer, the backup quarterback for the Raiders, struggled in the game, throwing for 129 yards and two interceptions. The Raiders, who had won their previous two games, were unable to keep up with the Bears' strong performance.

The Bears adjusted their game plan, focusing on short throws and handoffs with Bagent, an undrafted rookie from Division II Shepherd University. Bagent completed 21 of 29 passes for 162 yards and a touchdown, helping the Bears end their 10-game home losing streak.

Foreman, who signed with the Bears in March, had an impressive game, running for 89 yards on 16 attempts and scoring his first two touchdowns of the season. He also caught a 5-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter. DJ Moore contributed to the Bears' offense with eight receptions for 54 yards.

The Bears' defense played a significant role in securing the win. Cairo Santos kicked a 54-yard field goal in the fourth quarter, and Jaylon Johnson made two late interceptions. Johnson returned one interception for a touchdown, extending the Bears' lead to 30-6. Another interception by Johnson, this time against Aidan O'Connell, helped seal the victory for the Bears. This win marked the Bears' first victory at Soldier Field since Week 3 of the previous season.

Hoyer struggled throughout the game, completing only 17 of 32 passes and posting a passer rating of 37.1. O'Connell, a local product from the Chicago area, replaced Hoyer and completed 10 of 13 passes for 75 yards, with one touchdown and one interception.

Davante Adams, who has historically been a challenge for the Bears, had a relatively quiet game, catching seven passes for 57 yards. Adams had previously recorded 81 catches for 1,024 yards and 10 touchdowns in 16 games against the Bears.

Josh Jacobs, the Raiders' running back, had a tough game, running for just 35 yards on 11 attempts. Daniel Carlson, the Raiders' kicker, missed a 41-yard field goal early in the game.

In terms of injuries, Raiders linebacker Divine Deablo suffered an ankle injury while defending a quarterback sneak in the second quarter. No injuries were reported for the Bears.

Looking ahead, the Raiders will face the Detroit Lions on October 30, while the Bears will take on the Los Angeles Chargers on October 29.
