It’s far too early to declare a breakthrough for quarterback Justin Fields and the Bears’ offense, but there’s no denying that things are getting better.
Forget that Fields put up fantastic numbers and delivered three touchdown passes in the preseason finale against the Browns. Take the results out of it and just pay attention to how it looked.
Even with poor protection, Fields seemed comfortable. In his NFL career, that’s new.
He rolled out often, making the most of his speed by drawing defenders’ eyes toward him and away from targets like tight end Cole Kmet.
