Bears quarterback Tyson Bagent (17) spikes the ball after scoring on a sneak in the fourth quarter against the Vikings on Sunday at Soldier Field. The Bears lost, 19-13.

Playing in an NFL regular-season game for the first time, Bears rookie quarterback Tyson Bagent noticed the difference. But not that much of a difference.

This wasn’t the preseason. And it certainly wasn’t Shepherd University. Exactly one year after he rallied Shepherd to victory in the second half against Millersville before a home crowd of 6,471 fans, Bagent was at it again on the NFL’s big stage Sunday — for the Bears and against the Vikings, before a Soldier Field crowd nearly 10 time the size (62,167) and in a moment even more exponentially bigger than he’s used to.
