The Bears drafted quarterback Justin Fields to be their answer to Packers star Aaron Rodgers. And while the real rivalry ultimately might be between Fields and Packers quarterback-in-waiting Jordan Love, Rodgers is still at the top of his game at 37, and there’s no telling how long he’ll stay there.
At some point, it’s on Fields to bury him. That seems like an overwhelming task at this stage, when he’s only three starts into his career and has yet to throw more than 20 passes in a game, but the Bears urgently are trying to punch back against an opponent that almost always flattens them.
