offensive coordinator Luke Getsy was very concerned with the Minnesota Vikings blitz, so he wanted to get the ball out quickly and stress them horizontally with some bubble screens. That's not a bad idea in moderation and mixed in with some other quick-hitting plays, but it seems like every drive featured Justin Fields turning to throw outside and behind the line of scrimmage.
ESPN's Courtney Cronin Tweeted out that Fields threw 13 screen passes, which resulted in his lowest air yards per attempt (2.4) and lowest air yards per completion (1.9) of his career, and that his 21 passes thrown at or behind the line of scrimmage was the most in the NFL since 2020.
