The Bears are off to a 2–1 start, but they’ve done it in spite of a subdued offense. Chicago has made a concerted effort to keep the ball out of their quarterback’s hands and win the game in other ways instead—and so far, it has worked.
To begin the season, Bears quarterback Justin Fields has set a record for the least amount of passing yards for a quarterback who started each of the first three contests. It’s also the fewest amount of passing yards for any quarterback who, at any point in a season, started three straight games since 1975.
