Justin Fields was ready to take the field with about two minutes to play and the Bears down by one last month in Minneapolis when quarterbacks coach Andrew Janocko pulled him aside.
“Hey, let’s go win the game,” he said.
Fields, who had fumbled twice in the fourth quarter, concurred.
“Bet,” Fields said.
His Gen. Z slang word of agreement fits what Fields is facing perfectly. In the final four games, starting Sunday in Cleveland, he needs to give the Bears a reason to bet on him in the future.
