ARLINGTON, Texas — Bears quarterback Justin Fields took some figurative small steps forward Sunday, but it was a literal giant leap that helped seal his team’s fate in a 49-29 loss to the Cowboys at AT&T Stadium.
With the Bears trailing 35-23 with 5:17 left in the third quarter, running back David Montgomery fumbled as he ran towards the Bears sideline on a short pass play on third-and-17. Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons recovered on the turf at the Bears 36-yard line and Fields leaped over Parsons to avoid contact.
