After ho-hum preseason finale, Justin Fields says he’s ready for Week 1

Justin Fields, Matt Eberflus and the Bears look on Saturday.

At this point, you can see in Justin Fields what you want to see.

Blur your eyes a bit and walk to one side of the proverbial magic eye painting of the Bears quarterback and you can convince yourself the signs are there for a leap: Fields threw two touchdowns in his first preseason start two weeks ago and marched the Bears to the Bills’ 9 in his third drive Saturday before being lifted because he was on a pitch count.

Go to the other side, though, and you’ll see a player whose two Week 1 touchdowns came on throws behind the line of scrimmage and who posted a 65.
