How Bears worked around Justin Fields’ strengths better in 2022

Bears quarterback Justin Fields has completed two NFL seasons to this point, both with different coaching staffs.

He arrived at the tail end of Matt Nagy’s run as head coach, and he entered Year 2 with another entirely new playbook to learn when Matt Eberflus took over the job. Luke Getsy’s system as offensive coordinator is a different one than Bill Lazor’s was in the same role.

Ultimately, the Chicago Bears failed to make the playoffs both years, so life is meaningless, and death is inevitable. Though the record didn’t increase — they actually lost more games in 2022 than the year before — there seemed to be more excitement about Fields’ play.
