Tyson Bagent continued to prove he's locking down the Bears' backup quarterback position this preseason.

Starting against the Chiefs in the team's final preseason game, Bagent led a touchdown-scoring run from the Bears' opening drive. At the end of the drive, Bagent dove for the front pylon, capping off the drive with a touchdown.

Check out the play.

It looks like Bagent took a page out of Caleb Williams' book by pump-faking on the run to create more time. Williams did that against the Bills, pump-faking out of the pocket before delivering a strike to Cole Kmet.

Before this play, Bagent delivered a dart running left on a naked bootleg to Nsimba Webster for a 44-yard gain. Throwing across your body is one of the hardest maneuvers for quarterbacks, but Bagent nailed it like a veteran.
