Jaquan Brisker implores referees to give Fields the same respect as other QBs.
Justin Fields is a beat-up guy as we speak. While some of the hits are due to him running a lot and the Bears using his legs in the running game a bunch. He endured another pounding against the Atlanta Falcons.
However, several of the hits he's endured this year are not necessarily his own fault. Indeed, several times he's given himself up on a slide and seen a defender hit him very late. It also seems like every single time the referees refused to throw a flag...
Justin Fields might not say it, but Jaquan Brisker has no problem pointing out the fact that the Bears' signal caller doesn't get the same respect from the officials that almost every other quarterback in the league receives.
«He very tough," Brisker said of Fields after the loss. "Especially, the league, if that was different quarterback, they would be throwing hella flags. A lot of flags. I feel like the league has to look at that. It's crazy how many times he gets hit in the head every single game, but he still gets up. Gets hit out of bounds, late, or near the white.
"If that was Tom Brady, Jared Goff, or anybody like that, they throwing flags immediately. Just as you seen today. They threw a flag to Mariota, and he tripped over himself. I feel like they got to respect Justin some more and look at him as a quarterback because, obviously, there you should be more flags. He's getting targeted every single game and none of them are being thrown.»
