Bears, Justin Fields looking for success at scene of last year’s low point

Justin Fields hasn’t talked to rookie tackle Braxton Jones about the last time the Bears quarterback played in Cleveland.

“I’m glad,” Jones said. “I mean, that was last year. We’ve got a different group of guys —and obviously we’re looking for a better outcome.”

It will be hard for the Bears to play a worse game Saturday when they travel to FirstEnergy Stadium for their preseason finale.Fields was sacked nine times and hit on six more occasions in the Bears’ 26-6 loss on Sept. 26. On the shores of Lake Erie, head coach Matt Nagy’s offense totaled 47 yards — the franchise’s fewest in 40 years — on 42 plays.
