Fields took eight quarterback hits in addition to hits on his run plays Sunday.

The Bears once again are asking the NFL to step in and prevent an ongoing problem of late and dangerous hits on quarterback Justin Fields.

Coach Matt Eberflus said Monday the team is persistent in appealing to the league to pay more attention to it, and safety Jaquan Brisker believes opposing players are being coached to hit Fields in the head and late.

Eberflus was upset about several hits Fields took against the Lions last month and saw at least one objectionable hit Sunday in the Bears’ 28-13 win over the Lions.
