For the first couple drives, Chicago Bears fans had an all too familiar experience Saturday. After months of optimism surrounding the selection of quarterback Justin Fields with the No. 11 overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft, Bears fans briefly wondered if their faith was misguided.
That didn't last long. Fields rebounded from three rough drives against the Miami Dolphins to lead the Bears to three straight scoring drives, the second of which resulted in Fields' first touchdown in the NFL.
Fields' first NFL score looked awfully familiar to anyone who watched him at Ohio State.
