VIDEO: Here is yet another cheap shot uncalled on Bears' QB Justin Fields
Another week, another illegal hit on Bears' QB Justin Fields that goes uncalled by the referees.
Indeed, check out this play where Eagles defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh was somehow not flagged despite hitting Fields in the head. You could also see that Fields had clearly gave himself up as he was already well in the process of sliding down.
Fields was visibility livid at the referee's immediately after the play, and he explains what happened after the game. After a late hit in the Bears' preseason opener against the Kansas City Chiefs, Fields said he «might have to wait four or five years» to get those calls. Now he has decided to press the officials in hopes a call will eventually go his way.
Suh has a history of being one of the dirtiest players in the league for years and years now, and this is just another example of that.
This has to change. It is obvious now that Justin Fields has the potential to become of of the best quarterbacks in this league and for a long time. he has to be able to stay healthy and be protected. Fields ran for 39 yards on a scramble that nearly went to the end zone and finished Sunday with 95 yards for an even 1,000 on the year. It broke Bobby Douglass' Bears record of 968 yards that had stood for 50 years.
Douglass got his in a 14-game season, but Fields got his in his 13th game of a 17-game season, the Bears' 14th game this season.
