This isn’t the first Justin Fields start any Bears fan wanted to see. The Browns defense played well and the Bears offense did not. Fields opportunities were limited by both the play calls and the offensive line, and he wasn’t able to make much of the opportunities he had. The Bears won’t have to face Myles Garrett every week, but they definitely need a better plan to account for blitzes. It was a rough loss, a painful offensive performance, and a rough way to start the Fields era.
But the Bears defense played well!
Here’s the box score for those of you with macabre inclinations.
