Bears quarterback Justin Fields wants to be great.

“He wants this to be his franchise — he wants this to be his city,” quarterbacks coach Andrew Janocko said. “Just the way he works. Spend five minutes with the kid, and you know that he’s a dude. He’s a dog. He’s an alpha. You spend a little bit of time with him and you know. This guy, he wants to be it.”

Sunday, though, he won’t be the face of the franchise.
