CBS 2's reporter Matt Zahn highlighted Fields' determination to make a significant impact on this number in the upcoming game.
The upcoming match is pivotal for Fields and the Bears as they seek to recover from their lackluster season debut. A primary focal point for improvement, recognized by both Fields and Coach Eberflus, is their long-passing game.
Fields mentioned, "One of the concerns I shared with [offensive coordinator] Luke [Getsy] and the coach was my tendency to be slightly conservative, especially when having potential game-changers like DJ [Moore] and Chase [Claypool] out wide. These guys have a knack for winning those 50/50 situations."
Eberflus echoed this, stating, "We certainly possess players who can clinch those 50/50 balls. If the quarterback is confident about the position of the cornerback, we'll take the shot."
An unexpected concern from the season opener was the evident dip in energy, notably on the sidelines as the Bears trailed. This matter was a talking point this week for both safety Jaquan Brisker and Fields.
