Getsy is in his first season as an NFL offensive coordinator.Bears offensive coordinator Luke Getsy didn’t sugar-coat what went wrong when quarterback Justin Fields overthrew wide-open tight end Ryan Griffin in the end zone against the Commanders.
“It’s simple,” Getsy said Friday. “The guys did a good job. We just missed the throw.”
Shortly after the game, Fields said the overthrow made him particularly upset. He said it was his job to make the throw — “I got to hit that, I’m an NFL quarterback,” he said —but left some of the blame for Griffin.
“He probably could have ran a little bit more,” Fields said.
