Bears quarterback Justin Fields is winless against the Packers.

Earlier this season, Bears quarterbacks coach Andrew Janocko said Justin Fields was his own harshest critic — and that, given the attention paid the quarterback position in Chicago, that was saying something.

Sunday, Fields can be his own biggest advocate. Given the endorsements he’s received from teammates over the past few weeks, that will be saying something, too.

As Fields prepares to try to beat the rival Packers for the first time in his career Sunday afternoon at Lambeau Field, his teammates have lobbied for him to be considered the Bears’ quarterback of the future.
