All season long, Bears QB Justin Fields has been taking on late and dirty hits from defenders, yet the refs always let it slide. It came to a point where even NFL legend Tedy Bruschi had to call out the refs in an angry rant.
Though Fields never gets those calls, many other QBs do, especially MVP candidate Jalen Hurts.
During last nights wild card matchup between the Eagles and Buccaneers, a penalty was called on a defender after a hit on Hurts which did not even look as bad as most of Fields' hits. After the call, Bears RB and Fields' teammate Khari Blasingame called out the refs in defence for Fields, via Twitter:
Blasingame, you are right! Fields never gets those calls. Hopefully next season the refs will look out for him a bit.
