Justin Fields knows something about performing in rivalry games after leading Ohio State past Michigan in college.
But Sunday will be the rookie’s first crack at the Chicago Bears-Green Bay Packers rivalry.
Bears coach Matt Nagy often praises Fields’ ability to rise up in big moments. That helps with Nagy’s confidence in the young quarterback as the Bears prepare to host the NFC North-leading Packers at Soldier Field. The Packers have won the last four meetings and nine of the last 10.
“You see it on tape (with Fields). You can see it on TV. And then to be able to see it live and have it firsthand, and to see how he handles situations, there’s a calm for all of us,” Nagy said.
