The Chicago Bears lost another close one, this time to the best team in the game today, the Philadelphia Eagles, and even at (3-11) the Bears are making the NFL take notice. Chicago has been treading water all year with a roster full of holes, and somehow has stayed competitive despite the losing streak.
Justin Fields' unconventional play has been causing analysts to reevaluate how they gauge his effectiveness, and many have started to consider the big picture when looking at his overall play. Despite having mostly replacement-level players surrounding him, he's been playing at a Pro Bowl level.
Yes, that felt odd to type regarding a Chicago QB, but in last week's NFL.com predictions, Fields was in along with Philly's Jalen Hurts and Detroit's Jared Goff, so it's a real possibility.
We'll get more into Fields, the team's culture, the trenches, and so much more at 6:00 p.m. (CT), when Jeff Berckes and I will dive into our day-after takes on the Bears vs Eagles game.
