It's safe to say the Justin Fields era is not off to an ideal start for the Chicago Bears, who dropped to 3-4 with a 38-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Sunday as Fields threw three interceptions.
The No. 11 overall pick out of Ohio State has now tossed six picks and taken 22 sacks while throwing just two touchdown passes, and the Bears have averaged just 13.4 points per game in his five NFL starts.
However, it's too early to call Fields a bust. The Bears might not be a Super Bowl contender this season, but there are steps the team can take in the months to come to get the Fields era back on track before his sophomore season arrives.
