It’s fair to acknowledge the growth Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields showed Sunday and to assert that the offense finally appeared competent. But what is the true significance?
Bears running back David Montgomery runs during the final drive of the fourth quarter on Oct. 9, 2022, at U.S. Bank Stadium.
As a reminder, the Bears totaled 176 yards and 12 points in the second half of a loss. That’s the bungee cord that will keep the internal view in Lake Forest attached to reason. Done in by a protection breakdown, Fields was engulfed in the pocket and had the football swatted from his right hand by D.J. Wonnum. Had it not been for the hustle of left guard Lucas Patrick, who kept the Bears alive by recovering the fumble, the defeat might have become official there.
Fields’ abrupt movement forward and inadvertent cue to center Sam Mustipher to snap the ball when the quarterback was simply trying to audible. The result: a fumble that Fields recovered plus an illegal motion penalty against Fields. “You can feel Justin comfortable with where he is right now in the offense,” Eberflus said. “He’s taking command.”
