The Sun-Times’ experts offer their picks for Justin Fields’ first start Sunday against the Browns:
Rick Morrissey
Browns 24-13
Here’s hoping that Matt Nagy doesn’t bog down Justin Fields with an offense that deals in safe, short, boring passes — also known as “the Bears’ offense.’’ Let’s see the kid throw the ball down the field. Let’s see him run with it. Let’s see ups and downs and growing pains. Let him loose. Season: 1-1.
Rick Telander
Browns 24-20
Baker Mayfield has a bum non-throwing shoulder from trying to make a tackle; Fields survived scrambling to recover a fumble.
