Justin Fields and the Bears had a strong shot at establishing themselves as an up-and-coming team by beating the Packers, but they threw it all away in the fourth quarter.

Chicago entered the game with some hope as Justin Fields returned to the field, in red-hot form. He started the game off electrically, as he usually does, but as we’ve seen in recent weeks, Fields couldn’t pull his magic when the game got close.
Fields has proven he can be a quarterback Chicago can build around, but there’s still a lot in his game that can improve. His running game is as good as it gets, and he has the potential to be a great thrower. However, he needs to limit his mistakes, cut down on turnovers, and work the 2-minute drill better.

Chicago started off the game hot. Fields ran it in for a 56-yard touchdown, and then soon after, he hit an absolute dime to Equanimeous St. Brown for 56 yards.
The Packers were down 16-3, and Chicago held all the momentum. Fans were excited enough to let the jeers roll down for their inter-division rivals, but they may have come prematurely.
The Packers came roaring back in the second half, particularly the 4th quarter. The offense found its mojo, and the defense was able to capitalize on Fields’ mistakes, picking him off twice in a row at the end of the game when Chicago desperately needed a score.
Aaron Rodgers does in fact still own Chicago. He saluted the fans at Solider Field, and he had another savage interview afterward.
