Here we’re once more, Chicago, within the residence stretch of one other shedding Bears season with quarterback uncertainty swirling. Justin Fields has three video games remaining in his third season and, fairly presumably, in his time with the group.
Empowered with the Carolina Panthers’ first-round choose, the Bears presently maintain the No. 1 choice in subsequent spring’s draft. That would enable them, in that case desired, to reboot at quarterback with the draft prospect of their alternative. Or the Bears might proceed to face behind Fields, a cube roll that might require confidence that he would proceed to ascend in his improvement.
Before the season, we laid out life like 2023 targets for Fields throughout seven classes, establishing a check that would help within the ongoing analysis. Now, with Fields finishing his thirty fifth profession begin in Sunday’s dispiriting 20-17 loss in Cleveland, we’re diving into his full physique of labor as a Bear to color a complete image of the place Fields has excelled and the place he has fallen quick.
(We carried out an analogous train with Mitch Trubisky after his first 50 begins and later up to date that when his time as a Bear was full.)
Here is our rating of each NFL begin Fields has made — 1 to 35.
1. Oct. 5, 2023: Bears 40, Commanders 20
15-for-29, 282 yards, 4 TDs, 57 dashing yards, 125.3 passer ranking

The Bears’ first victory in 347 days additionally offered the primary big payoff of the Fields-Moore reference to the duo hooking up eight instances for 230 yards and three scores. The Bears by no means trailed, led 27-3 at halftime and flew residence from Washington feeling optimistic about what appeared like a promising breakthrough for his or her younger quarterback.
2. Nov. 6, 2022: Dolphins 35, Bears 32
17-for-28, 123 yards, three TDs, 178 dashing yards, one TD, 106.7 ranking
In a phrase: electrical. Fields was magnificent together with his toes, chewing up extra dashing yards in a sport than any quarterback had over the NFL’s first 103 seasons. His 61-yard landing scramble was extraordinary, an instance of how his breathtaking velocity can torture a protection. He additionally threw a pair of landing passes to Cole Kmet and one other to Darnell Mooney and had Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel playfully asking him to “stop it” with all these big-play runs. Fields ran for no less than 10 yards on eight performs and intoxicated Bears followers together with his explosiveness. Alas, the afternoon led to defeat when a possible profitable drive for the Bears stalled out in need of midfield. But Fields had put the league on discover of how harmful he might be.

Fields’ 25-yard screen-pass TD to Khalil Herbert required him to alertly alter his arm angle whereas bracing for a large hit from oncoming stress. That ignited a stretch through which Fields and the Bears scored on 5 consecutive possessions in a runaway win. The Bears transformed 11 of 18 third downs, together with 5 Fields completions and 5 extra Fields runs. He additionally was turned unfastened for 10 designed runs, together with a 3-yard landing within the first quarter.

12-for-20, 167 yards, two TDs, one interception, 147 dashing yards, two TDs, 99.4 ranking
Every week after torching the Dolphins together with his legs, Fields gave the visiting Lions an analogous therapy. His greatest play was a 67-yard landing run down the center of Soldier Field, a house run that electrified the house followers simply three snaps after he threw a dispiriting pick-six. That was additionally the longest run ever by a Bears quarterback. A two-game dashing whole of 325 yards set an NFL report for quarterbacks. Fields additionally threw a 50-yard landing cross to Kmet as a part of a 408-yard day for the offense. Another fireworks present, although, was accompanied by combined feelings after the Bears blew a 14-point fourth-quarter lead in a one-point loss; after Fields threw that expensive interception; and after the Bears offense didn’t get previous its 35-yard line on a possible profitable drive within the remaining three minutes in opposition to one of many league’s worst defenses.
5. Nov. 8, 2021: Steelers 29, Bears 27
17-for-29, 291 yards, one TD, one interception, 45 dashing yards, 89.9 ranking
One might argue to at the present time that essentially the most spectacular throw of Fields’ profession was the 28-yard completion he fired to Jimmy Graham firstly of the fourth quarter on this sport, a tight-window dime thrown with heavy stress closing in. One might additionally argue essentially the most spectacular drive Fields has led as a Bear got here two possessions later, a seven-play, 75-yard march that completed together with his sensible 16-yard, off-script TD cross to Mooney with 1:46 remaining. That gave the Bears a 27-26 lead in opposition to a top quality opponent on “Monday Night Football.” Fields was composed. He was clutch. He had Bears followers dreaming of such game-on-the-line heroics changing into the norm. Alas, the protection surrendered a game-losing field-goal drive on the following sequence. And it could be an extended whereas earlier than Fields once more led a important fourth-quarter landing drive.
6. Oct. 1, 2023: Broncos 31, Bears 28
28-for-35, 335 yards, 4 TDs, one interception, 25 dashing yards, one misplaced fumble, 132.7 ranking

By afternoon’s finish, Fields had set single-game profession highs in completions and passer ranking. Unfortunately, the Bears suffered an epic fourth-quarter unraveling to which Fields contributed two turnovers — a fumble that was returned 35 yards for a Broncos landing and an interception within the remaining minute that ended the Bears’ final possession.
7. Dec. 10, 2023: Bears 28, Lions 13
19-for-33, 233 yards, one TD, 58 dashing yards, 88.3 ranking
Big performs, huge performs all over the place. In an enormous win too. Fields had 4 runs for no less than 10 yards and 5 completions for no less than 15, none larger than his free-play, 38-yard landing toss to Moore that put the Bears forward to remain. On the entire, Fields’ day was a curler coaster with some exhilarating highlights combined with just a few irritating sacks and simple throws that have been missed. But Fields didn’t put the ball in hurt’s manner and generated a spark when the Bears wanted it. A runaway win over the first-place Lions was a momentum builder.
8. Nov. 19, 2023: Lions 31, Bears 26
16-for-23, 169 yards, one TD, 104 dashing yards, 105.2 ranking
For an extended whereas, Fields and the Bears offense have been in a groove. They took the opening drive 75 yards for a landing with out going through a 3rd down. They managed the ball for greater than 40 minutes. Fields produced the fifth 100-yard dashing sport of his profession, together with a game-high 29-yard scramble to transform on third-and-14 on their remaining scoring drive. That run was punctuated with an animated Fields dance alongside the sideline. Thanks additionally to a 39-yard deep-shot TD from Fields to Moore, the Bears held a commanding 12-point lead with just a little greater than 4 minutes remaining. It’s nonetheless laborious to fathom all of the banana peels and trapdoor levers the workforce needed to step on to depart Ford Field with a crushing loss. But for Fields, there have been once more indicators of noticeable progress.
9. Oct. 3, 2021: Bears 24, Lions 14
11-for-17, 209 yards, zero TDs, one interception, 9 dashing yards, 82.7 ranking
Fields’ first victory as an NFL starter was removed from spectacular statistically. But given how he regrouped from a complete catastrophe the earlier week in Cleveland — 9 sacks and 1 internet passing yard in a 20-point loss in his first begin — the rookie’s fast bounce-back was a testomony to his psychological fortitude. “I’ve been in rough spots before,” Fields mentioned after the win. “And my mindset was just to bounce back.” A 64-yard bomb to Mooney was Fields’ greatest play on a day when he gladly leaned on a productive working sport.
10. Dec. 18, 2022: Eagles 25, Bears 20
14-for-21, 152 yards, two TDs, 61 dashing yards, 119.5 ranking
Fields’ greatest thrill trip of the afternoon was an adrenalizing 39-yard scramble throughout which he magically evaded a Haason Reddick sack within the pocket, then rocketed into the open subject and made all the Eagles protection look foolish. It would have been a 48-yard landing had Fields not grazed the sideline as he tried to chop and spin his manner into the tip zone. He additionally threw TD passes to working again David Montgomery and Byron Pringle, the latter approaching an prolonged play through which Fields baited the protection with the specter of a run after which threw to a wide-open goal down the proper sideline. Fields’ ranking was practically 43 factors increased than the typical ranking of quarterbacks who had confronted the eventual NFC champion Eagles as much as that time. That supplied an encouraging signal that Fields was rising in his capacity to deal with stress and keep composed in opposition to an elite protection.
11. Oct. 31, 2021: 49ers 33, Bears 22
19-for-27, 175 yards, one TD, one interception, 103 dashing yards, one TD, 84.6 ranking
Fields offered his first 100-yard dashing outing and his first viral NFL mega-highlight with a 22-yard landing scramble.

(They didn’t succeed on that.) Still, all the afternoon, which additionally included a wonderful 8-yard TD dart to tight finish Jesse James, left Bears coaches impressed with Fields’ footwork, rhythm and decision-making.
12. Nov. 20, 2022: Falcons 27, Bears 24
14-for-21, 153 yards, one TD, one interception, 85 dashing yards, one TD, 84.0 ranking

Again, encouraging flashes of brilliance have been there. But the of completion wasn’t. The Bears had just one scoring drive and 99 whole yards within the second half. And their remaining possession — with an opportunity to tie or go forward — was a three-play catastrophe that began with a quarterback run on which Fields separated his left shoulder and ended with an off-target interception on a cross over the center to Montgomery.

12-for-20, 111 yards, one TD, 4 dashing yards, 91.9 ranking
This was a game-management victory in each sense. But for a rookie quarterback making simply his second highway begin, Fields was regular and in management. He didn’t flip the ball over and was sacked solely twice. He additionally confirmed his aggressive grit, returning to play after hyperextending his knee within the first half and later having the wind knocked out of him. “The No. 1 thing I’m taking out of this is his toughness,” then-coach Matt Nagy mentioned. That mattered nearly as a lot as Fields’ first profession TD cross, a 2-yard dart to tight finish Jesper Horsted behind the tip zone, or his third-and-12 conversion to Mooney on a important fourth-quarter field-goal drive.
14. Dec. 12, 2021: Packers 45, Bears 30

But, as was so typically the case at Lambeau Field throughout the Rodgers period, the Bears discovered themselves on the incorrect finish of an avalanche. They have been outscored 31-3 throughout one stretch and Fields’ three turnovers didn’t assist. The first was an interception that Rasul Douglas returned 55 yards for a landing. The second was a misplaced fumble on a strip-sack that the Packers instantly changed into one other landing. The final was one other interception within the remaining minute to seal the deal.
15. Oct. 30, 2022: Cowboys 49, Bears 29
17-for-23, 151 yards, two TDs, 60 dashing yards, one TD, 120.0 ranking

He additionally helped the Bears climb out of an early 21-0 gap to drag inside 5 factors earlier than halftime and saved them in an offensive groove six days after a breakthrough win at New England. But in what would grow to be Roquan Smith’s remaining sport as a Bear lower than per week after the workforce traded Robert Quinn, the Bears protection was starting a demoralizing collapse. Fields additionally had an unlucky psychological mistake after a Montgomery fumble, leaping over Cowboys star Micah Parsons reasonably than touching him down after his restoration. Parson received up and raced 36 yards for a landing.
16. Oct. 9, 2022: Vikings 29, Bears 22
15-for-21, 208 yards, one TD, 47 dashing yards, 118.7 ranking

But after a late Vikings landing, the Bears’ final-drive hopes dissipated when Ihmir Smith-Marsette fumbled after a 15-yard Fields completion on the Minnesota 39 with 1:01 remaining. Fields’ TD cross was a contact cross that Velus Jones Jr. took 9 yards for a rating. Overall, Fields was environment friendly and performed beneath management.
17. Oct. 13, 2022: Commanders 12, Bears 7
14-for-27, 190 yards, one TD, one interception, 88 dashing yards, 71.5 ranking
In Chicago, this sport is most remembered for the potential fourth-down, game-winning Fields TD cross that Mooney couldn’t catch cleanly and didn’t totally safe till he was pushed 8 inches outdoors the aim line with 30 seconds remaining. (That game-winning alternative was arrange, partly, by a 39-yard Fields scramble on the Bears’ remaining drive.) A extra intense microscope on that sport, nonetheless, raises questions as to how the Bears scored solely as soon as on an evening through which the offense rolled up 391 yards; how they got here away with zero factors on three journeys contained in the Commanders 10, together with a Fields interception off a defensive lineman’s helmet; and the way Fields was sacked 5 instances and once more completed with a passer ranking beneath 75.

8-for-17, 121 yards, two TDs, one interception, 28 dashing yards, 85.7 ranking
One of essentially the most memorable photos from Fields’ time as a Bear has been his Slip N’ Slide dive by means of Soldier Field’s north finish zone on the finish of this moist and wild upset of the 49ers in monsoon-like situations. Two of Fields’ eight completions went for touchdowns, together with a 51-yard strike to Dante Pettis on a damaged play that the quarterback changed into a magic act. Fields’ fourth-quarter, 18-yard scoring cross to Equanimeous St. Brown put the Bears forward to remain.

20-for-25, 254 yards, zero TDs, two interceptions, 71 dashing yards, one TD, 75.7 ranking
A productive afternoon that included yet one more stadium-shaking landing run by Fields — a 55-yard dash within the second half — led to disappointment with one other loss to the Packers as Fields turned the ball over on his remaining two possessions. His first interception — on a belief throw to St. Brown on a curl route — got here with the Bears inside Packers territory and down by one level within the remaining minutes. It was a expensive miscue in a game-on-the-line scenario and stole the thunder of Fields’ third TD run of fifty yards or longer in a four-week span.
20. Oct. 17, 2021: Packers 24, Bears 14
16-for-27, 174 yards, one TD, one interception, 43 dashing yards, 75.2 ranking

His 5-yard TD cross to Mooney within the fourth quarter was encouraging, most notably as a result of it got here on his fourth learn. Fields had a number of different promising moments. But total, the rookie quarterback and the Bears offense have been too uneven to upset a top-tier opponent.
21. Nov. 27, 2023: Bears 12, Vikings 10
27-for-37, 217 yards, 59 dashing yards, two misplaced fumbles, 87.3 ranking
When it mattered most, Fields delivered. His 36-yard completion to Moore with 55 seconds remaining was essentially the most significant play on the game-winning drive. Santos offered the ultimate factors with a 30-yard subject aim with 10 seconds left. Fields’ capacity to remain resilient on the finish of a blitz-heavy night time and after shedding two fumbles within the fourth quarter was notable. The Bears’ screen-heavy passing assault in opposition to the continually pressuring protection of Vikings coordinator Brian Flores grew to become a significant storyline. But the larger deal was the victory.

26-for-39, 285 yards, one TD, 35 dashing yards, one misplaced fumble, 96.6 ranking
This complete sport was weird and sloppy, with the Bears lacking 14 gamers plus two coordinators (Bill Lazor and Chris Tabor) on the reserve/COVID-19 checklist. Despite outgaining the Vikings by 177 yards, the Bears trailed for the ultimate 50 minutes of the Monday night time affair and didn’t rating a landing till a meaningless 19-yard Fields cross to Horsted as time expired. In what turned out to be the ultimate begin of his rookie season, Fields’ remaining numbers have been passable. But his misplaced fumble within the first quarter was expensive. And on a discombobulated fourth-and-1 play from the Vikings 21-yard line late within the third, he took a sack for a turnover on downs because the Bears tried to chop into the Vikings lead. Fields additionally damage his ankle, an harm that might hold him out of the following two video games.

The TD was a murals with Fields escaping from Myles Garrett and throwing a pinpoint cross to Kmet behind the tip zone. But the offensive highlights have been few and much between. The Bears protection was culpable in a late-game collapse, however the offense failed to attain on its remaining six possessions. Fields was 0-for-2 on drives within the remaining eight minutes when the Bears had an opportunity to take the lead or tie the sport and noticed his upset bid finish when Mooney couldn’t safe a ricochet on a final-play Hail Mary.

But on the entire, Fields and the Bears didn’t play properly sufficient to win.

24-for-37, 216 yards, one TD, one interception, 58 dashing yards, one misplaced fumble, 78.2 ranking
Context is the whole lot with this one. As the Bears opened the season at residence within the first sport of the post-Rodgers period for the Packers, an announcement alternative appeared to be ready. But the one assertion was made by the guests, who rallied behind Jordan Love (15-for-27, 245 yards, three TDs) and dropped a Week 1 blowout on Chicago. The Bears offense was sloppy and inefficient all day. The dagger was a 37-yard interception-return landing by Packers linebacker Quay Walker on an ill-advised cross over the center to Mooney.
31. Oct. 15, 2023: Vikings 19, Bears 13
6-for-10, 58 yards, one interception, 46 dashing yards, 36.7 ranking
After encouraging performances in opposition to the Broncos and Commanders, Fields got here crashing again all the way down to earth — figuratively and actually. His remaining play of an abbreviated afternoon got here when he dislocated his proper thumb whereas unsuccessfully making an attempt to keep away from a sack. The harm wound up costing him a month. The day began with Fields recognizing a blitz earlier than his first snap however failing to eliminate the ball and shedding 7 yards, the primary of 4 sacks he took. It by no means received a lot better.
32. Oct. 24, 2021: Buccaneers 38, Bears 3
22-for-32, 184 yards, three interceptions, 38 dashing yards, two misplaced fumbles, 44.3 ranking

7-for-21, 75 yards, one TD, one interception, 132 dashing yards, one misplaced fumble, 40.8 ranking

35. Sept. 26, 2021: Browns 26, Bears 6
6-for-20, 68 yards, 12 dashing yards, 41.2 ranking
The curtain lifted on the Fields-as-a-starter period, and the rookie quarterback was instantly sacked. And then sacked once more. And time and again and once more. To quote Principal Edward Rooney: “Niiiiiiiiine times.” Whoa. Browns star Myles Garrett had 4 1/2 sacks, providing a impolite welcome to the Bears quarterback and exposing a sport plan that left Fields all too weak. The Bears managed simply six completions and 1 internet passing yard. Yes. One. For all the sport. It was irritating. It was ugly. It’s a sport that will likely be talked about in Chicago for many years.
