The Chicago Bears have lost four straight games. But that doesn’t matter because the Bears have finally found their franchise quarterback in Justin Fields, who had his breakout game in a hostile environment on a prime-time stage.
Fields has taken some big steps forward over the last couple of weeks, but none more impressive than Monday’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, where he showcased his poise, confidence and special skillset that shows why the Bears traded up to get him.
While last week Fields used his legs to best the 49ers defense, this week he used his arm, where he made some truly special throws in crunch time to open up the passing game in a way we haven’t seen it all season.
Trailing six points with less than three minutes left, Fields — with a smile on his face — marched his team 75 yards down the field for the go-ahead touchdown, a beautiful throw to Darnell Mooney.
Whether it was Bears fans, NFL fans, players or analysts, everyone recognized that Fields is a truly special talent and has a bright future in the NFL. And Chicago finally looks to have the franchise quarterback that’s eluded them for decades.
