The Bears finally let Justin Fields be Justin Fields and they should be happy with the results. DaBears
The Chicago Bears’ Week 7 upset over the New England Patriots on Monday Night Football may have meant more than a run-of-the-mill win. After a year-and-a-half withunder center, the Bears may have finally found an offensive identity with him as their quarterback. For the first time all year, they ran Fields. And it worked.
A number of factors have contributed to Chicago’s approach and ineptitude, but the team’s personnel on offense can at least lend insight into why the team is not inclined to throw, and why it hasn’t found much success when doing so. Chicago lacks talent at the wide receiver position outside of Darnell Mooney, while Cole Kmet has shown little to indicate that he will be anything more than an above-average tight end at the NFL level since being a high second-round pick in 2020.
Why Chicago did not pivot to this approach with Fields earlier in the season, or simply open the season with the intention of using Fields as a runner, is a mystery. With few options in the passing game, a weak offensive line, and an athletic phenom at quarterback, it would theoretically behoove an offensive coaching staff to build the offense around the quarterback’s legs. The fact that they did not do so screams “fitting a round peg into a square hole.
