5 Chicago Bears storylines to follow in second half of season

4. Will Justin Fields keep running?

The big difference between the last three weeks and the first six is how many designed runs that Fields is being given. Luke Getsy is unlocking him right now, and is designed run has essentially doubled in recent weeks.

The question will be, what now? The run game is humming, but like anything, in the NFL you will see the response. He will not break the rushing record for quarterbacks every week. If he does, it will be worth watching for sure.

Now, the team needs to build off of it. They can use Fields as a runner to open up the pass, but if they run him into the ground it will become an issue.

So, we should look to see how Fields develops as a passer. We should see Getsy build off the groundwork he has laid in these recent weeks. Considering Getsy handled his first challenge well, we should expect him to find ways to branch off of the designed runs, but it will certainly be worthy of our attention.
