3 Changes the Chicago Bears must make to help out Justin Fields

The Chicago Bears must be more aggressive and show trust in Justin Fields

I understand that Justin Fields wasn’t performing well vs the Texans, and the coaching staff needed to do whatever it took to put themselves in a position to win the game. However, it might have helped Justin Fields to know that his coaches trusted him. When you have the ball with a minute left in the game and you choose not to take any timeouts — even after the other team gifts you one of their timeouts on third down — it doesn’t instill trust in the quarterback.

This happened early in the game when the team ran a running back draw on third and 10 to set up the field goal instead of pushing the ball for a touchdown. In the third quarter when the Bears needed to put up points to put the game away,

This is what happened Sunday before halftime. With 40 seconds left, the Bears had a first down and three timeouts. We saw the Eagles score in a similar situation vs. the Commanders, but the Chicago Bears just decided to run the ball and run the clock out. If I were Justin Fields, I’m not feeling supported.

Which Chicago Bears players laid duds vs. Texans?

Although the Chicago Bears were able to escape the Texans with a narrow victory at home, there were some poor performances that need to be addressed.

Now, this isn’t on the coaching staff as much as it is on Justin Fields. I said that Fields ran out of excuses and this game needed to be his statement game. We didn’t see that happen. We didn’t see anything come close. Fields must be better and he knows it as he said he played like trash. The hope is that the Bears can help him along as he finds his groove. We’ve seen him show us how exceptional he can be but we need to see it more consistently.
