FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Bears quarterback Justin Fields ranks near the bottom of the NFL in most passing categories, but general manager Ryan Poles remains upbeat on his overall improvement regardless of how imperceptible it is in his production.

“Justin’s been a big topic in his development,” Poles said. “We’re encouraged with the progress that’s there. I know it’s not in the statistics and on the paper all the time, but he is getting better in a lot of different areas. As a whole, we’ve gotta play better around him as well to allow him to keep playing well and get his confidence going and execute at a high level.”
