Justin Fields: Pressure made me speed up my ‘internal clock’

Bears quarterback Justin Fields is sacked by the Commanders’ Efe Obada on Oct. 13.

Justin Fields had happy feet.

That was the conclusion the Bears quarterback drew after meeting with offensive coordinator Luke Getsy and quarterbacks coach Andrew Janocko earlier this week.

Late in the Commanders game, Fields said, he didn’t feel as comfortable in the pocket as he did at the start of the game, and left it too early. It was human nature— Fields was pressured 12 times and threw 27 passes.

”My internal clock was speeding up a little bit, just because of maybe the past pockets that I would get in the game,” Fields said Thursday.
