Justin Fields is making plays with his arm and legs, the defense is dominating and the wins are starting to stack up for the Chicago Bears. “You can just feel confidence,” coach Matt Eberflus said Monday. "But you can certainly feel the confidence growing as we start stacking these wins.”
Fields returned from a four-game absence because of a dislocated right thumb at Detroit in Week 11 and helped put the Bears in position to win before they blew a 12-point lead in the final 2:59. He was showing growth as a passer prior to the injury. In the win over the Vikings, Fields bounced back from two fourth-quarter fumbles to lead the winning field-goal drive.
