Fields was terrific for the Bears against the Commanders.

Things are going better for Bears quarterback Justin Fields, and you can see it in his face.

At the start of this week, he sat dejectedly, head down, in full uniform at his locker at Soldier Field after playing a big part in the Bears blowing a big lead against the Broncos.

Four days later, he looked much different after throwing for 282 yards and four touchdowns in a 40-20 win over the Commanders. Between his laughing with the “Thursday Night Football” postgame crew and his buoyant news conference afterward, it was the most the Bears have seen him smile.
