Chicago Bears to start Justin Fields at QB, Andy Dalton inactive vs. Detroit Lions

Justin Fields' first start did not go so well. The Chicago Bears are hoping things are better the second time around.

Fields will make his second straight start today against the Detroit Lions, the Bears announced, and veteran quarterback Andy Dalton is inactive with a knee injury.

Fields completed 6 of 20 passes for 68 yards and was sacked nine times in a loss to the Baltimore Ravens last week. The Bears finished with 1 net yard passing in the game.

The Lions spent the week preparing for three different Bears quarterbacks: Fields, Dalton and veteran Nick Foles.
