Chicago Bears HC Matt Eberflus considered taking Justin Fields out of Sunday's blowout loss against the Detroit Lions.

However, in the end, he decided to let his young quarterback do what he wanted to do: stay in the game.

«If we're playing a football game, I want to be on the field with my teammates,» Fields said after the 41-10 loss. «I know they are fighting hard for me on every play, and I want them to know I'm fighting just as hard for them.»

Here was Matt Eberflus' post-game interview:
