CLEVELAND — If the Bears’ offense is going to do anything this season, quarterback Justin Fields must rise above his imperfect circumstances.
For the first time this preseason, he showed he’s good enough to do that.
The Bears were looking for some signal from Fields that he’s ready for the season, which opens in two weeks, and he sent it with three touchdown drives before halftime against the Browns on Saturday in the preseason finale.
It got off to a rocky start, and concerns about the offensive line persisted throughout the first half, but Fields delivered nonetheless and exited at halftime after completing 14 of 16 passes for 156 yards with three touchdowns and no turnovers for a 146.
