Justin Fields went out of Sunday’s Minnesota Vikings-Chicago Bears game with a hand injury.
One could say Chicago’s chances to win the NFC North tilt left with the quarterback.
Undrafted rookie Tyler Bagent came into the game. That would be Tyler Bagent, who starred at Shepherd, the noted small-college power.
This isn’t Shepherd anymore and Bagent learned it quickly.
Bagent was hit by the Vikings and fumbled.
Jordan Hicks of the Vikings scooped the football and took off down the sidelines.
Forty-two yards later he was in the end zone and after the PAT, the Vikings led 19-6.
A Jordan Hicks scoop and a Jordan Hicks score!

Hicks was having a day in Week 7 as he also had an interception to go with his fumble recovery.
