Bears quarterback Justin Fields had just finished his first NFL preseason game when someone asked him how he was adjusting to game speed.
‘‘It was actually kind of slow to me, to be honest,’’ he said after facing the Dolphins on Aug. 14, 2021. ‘‘I think I was expecting it to be a little bit faster. But practicing, game speed, going at it with my teammates . . . it definitely slowed the game up a little bit for me.’’
