Bears quarterback Justin Fields had a rollercoaster of emotions following Monday night’s game. Although he nearly cost the team victory with two fourth-quarter fumbles, he ultimately led the Bears to a 12-10 win over the Vikings by setting up the game-winning field goal. Reflecting on the game, he acknowledged his need for better ball security on those fumbles.
He expressed gratitude to his teammates for their support and belief in him despite the challenges. Fields displayed his first-round draft pick potential by making impactful plays both with his arm and his legs during the game, showcasing why some in Chicago view him as the Bears’ future franchise quarterback.
Despite this, the two fumbles and the offense’s limited scoring to four field goals have fueled discussions about whether the Bears should consider drafting a new quarterback in April. Fields has five remaining games in the season to demonstrate his ability to execute critical plays when needed while minimizing mistakes that put the team in those late-game scenarios.
