LAKE FOREST — Just seven starts into his NFL career, Justin Fields showed, at the time, that he had all the makings of being a franchise quarterback. On Monday Night Football against the Steelers at Heinz Field, Fields threw for 291 yards and a touchdown in the 29-27 loss. That passing mark is still Fields’ highest total to date. The…
LAKE FOREST — Against the Packers in Week 1, Justin Fields saw zero coverage on second-and-9 from Green Bay’s 20-yard line. He checked the protection and got the offense in a better position to handle the Packers’ five-man rush. With time to throw in the pocket, Fields delivered a ball to Darnell Mooney toward the right corner of the end…
LAKE FOREST — There is one main question that takes precedent among all others for the Bears this season. Will Justin Fields take a leap in Year 3 and show that he has improved as a passer in 2023?

Not only did I bring a rain jacket, but I also had an umbrella and a hands-free umbrella holder. Yes, those exist. Bottom line, the rain would not have had an…
MOBILE, Ala. — The practices continued on Wednesday at Hancock Whitney Stadium for Day 2 of the 2023 Reese’s Senior Bowl week. With plenty of position groups in need of upgrades for the Bears, what players stood out for the National and American Team? I highlight some of the potential draft prospects in my top observations from Wednesday’s practice. National…
MOBILE, Ala. — With the sun beating down on Hancock Whitney Stadium, the sound of pads popping could be heard throughout the American Team practice. Not much music was played and the rest was minimal in between drills on Tuesday morning.

ATLANTA — With just over 10 minutes remaining in the second quarter, Cole Kmet did something that isn’t normal. After the Bears and Falcons scored touchdowns on their opening possessions, the two teams forced punts on the next four drives.
