The Bears defense celebrates after rookie Terell Smith forced and recovered a fumble by Commanders tight end Logan Thomas in the Bears’ 40-20 victory on Oct. 5 at FedEx Field in Landover, Md.

Justin Fields is on such a roll, not even a bad snap could stop him last week against the Commanders.

Those wayward snaps have caused all sorts of problems for Fields and the Bears. But on second-and-six at the Bears’ 29-yard line late in the third quarter, Fields grabbed Cody Whitehair’s high snap and not only avoided disaster but gained eight yards for a first down.
