Bears' Matt Nagy: Justin Fields Was 'Extremely Calm' in Preseason Debut vs. Dolphins

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy liked what he saw from rookie quarterback Justin Fields during his NFL preseason debut against the Miami Dolphins on Saturday.

When asked to comment on Fields' performance in the 20-13 win, Nagy told reporters: "The one thing that you felt from Justin … was that he was extremely calm the whole time."

Veteran Andy Dalton got the start under center for Chicago, but Fields replaced him in the second quarter and saw two quarters of action.

Fields went 14-of-20 for 142 yards and one touchdown, rushing for 33 yards and one score.
