Bears' Justin Fields Reportedly Apologized to Defense After Loss to Falcons

The Chicago Bears fell to the Atlanta Falcons 27-24 on Sunday and dropped to 3-8 on the season after a subpar performance by second-year quarterback Justin Fields and the offense.

After the game, Fields apologized to the Chicago defense for the offense's inability to get the job done, per Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer:

My understanding is Fields' defensive teammates stopped him as he was finishing the apology, told him they had his back. Really cool moment for everyone there, and a nice sign of where Matt Eberflus has taken the culture in Chicago.
