Players often say they insulate themselves from “outside noise,” but Bears center Sam Mustipher knows what people are saying about the Bears’ offense.
“You hear it. We know what’s being said about us,” Mustipher said. “But it’s only about the guys in that room with us. It’s about the team, but on the offense we understand the standard that we have set for ourselves. Now it’s time to go out and do it.”
The Bears’ offense has not gotten much respect, even with Justin Fields’ potential at quarterback. But within the locker room, they believe they’ll be better than people expect.
