Despite Justin's record-setting performance this past weekend, The Bears still lost. Fields ran for 147 yards and two touchdowns, including a go-ahead 67-yard score after throwing a pick-six interception to Lions cornerback Jeff Okudah in the fourth quarter. And despite his 325 rushing yards across the previous two weeks, the Bears are 0-2 during that span, and the young quarterback is taking the hit for his costly fourth-quarter interception.
«Just a dumb play, screen, the D-end (Aidan Hutchinson) sifted out pretty good,» Fields said after the game. «I can assure you that will never happen again for the rest of my career. Just screen, being sifted out, tried to move him a little bit and tried to float it over to Cole and just overthrew it. Just got to dirt it and play the next play.»
Fields said that he didn't care about the records and stated that he just wants to win games. Hopefully, his will is strong enough to push us past the Flacons next week. Not that we would do much with it but a seven-seed is still up in the air.
