Fields’ 91.6 passer rating, 200.2 yards passing per game and 61.7 completion percentage all are on track for career highs.

The criticisms of Bears quarterback Justin Fields are many, and his path to proving he’s the future of the franchise is narrow with seven games left.

But the thrill is back.

And so is the purpose.

For all his flaws, Fields will bring excitement to the Bears’ offense when he returns Sunday against the Lions in Detroit. Anything can happen with him on the field; the key is whether he can amaze consistently.
