One of the bigger stories in the NFL this season has been the recent meteoric rise of Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields. The second-year signal-caller has blossomed over the last month, setting records while almost seemingly giving the Bears an elite offense by himself.
But Fields hasn’t done it all by himself. One of the bigger members of Fields’ supporting cast — his safety valve tight end Cole Kmet — has also started to thrive. The big third-year tight end has five touchdowns in roughly the same time as Fields began to ascend, becoming one of the better middle-of-the-field weapons in the league lately.
