On Wednesday, Justin Fields opened up about his struggles early in the season, in part saying that coaching was hurting him so far this year.
“They’re doing their job when they’re giving me what to look at, stuff like that,” Fields said. “But at the end of the day, I can’t be thinking about that when the game comes.”
While fans and analysts took those quotes as Fields blaming the coaching, at least in part, for him not playing up to standard, the Bears don’t seem to agree. General manager Ryan Poles explained that the team doesn’t view Fields as one to put blame elsewhere.
