Bears coach Matt Nagy heard the cheers for Justin Fields on Saturday.
So did starting quarterback Andy Dalton.
“That’s not easy [for Dalton] being on that sideline for that game and hearing when Justin runs out, all the cheers,” Nagy said Tuesday.” I mean, let’s just face it, if that was any of us, that’s not easy.
“But at the same point in time, it’s a part of the business. [Dalton] understands the excitement. He’s not saying, ‘Why is everyone cheering for Justin?’ He gets it. He understands it. He’s helping Justin get to this point.
