Allen Park — Six weeks into this season, the Chicago Bears' offense was a mess, averaging a measly 15.5 points per game. Most notably, second-year quarterback Justin Fields was struggling, with more interceptions than touchdowns, ranking last among qualified passers in completion percentage, bottom-three in passer rating and eating more sacks than any of his peers.
Having played Thursday night that week, and posting a season-low seven points in a loss to the Washington Commanders, the Bears took advantage of their extended break to do a deep dive into their woes and see what they could do to tap into Fields' potential, particularly his dual-threat abilities.
