The Chicago Bears dropped their season opener to the Los Angeles Rams, suffering a brutal 34-14 loss on Sunday Night Football, where Chicago’s offense managed to outperform their once-vaunted defense.
While many anticipated the Bears not being able to upset the heavily-favored Rams, there were plenty of questions that Chicago is left to answer heading into next Sunday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals, including concerns on defense.
But the big story from the game was the debut of rookie quarterback Justin Fields, who appeared in five plays throughout the course of the game. While he didn’t get a bulk of snaps, it certainly felt like a start. Given Andy Dalton had a decent outing, you have to wonder if the losses keep building just how long Matt Nagy will be able to keep Fields on the bench.
