Bears quarterback Justin Fields warms up before Monday night’s game against the Vikings.

MINNEAPOLIS — Justin Fields was near-perfect in the first quarter and struggled in the second, and the Bears and Vikings are tied 3-3 at halftime.

The Bears quarterback was a perfect 12-for-12 for 100 yards and a 101.4 passer rating in the first quarter of Monday’s game at U.S. Bank Stadium.

On the Bears’ first drive, Fields completed three different third-down passes before throwing a middle screen to Cole Kmet that went nowhere to set up a 48-yard field goal try by Cairo Santos.
