In today’s NFL, Justin Fields is undoubtedly one of the league’s more polarizing figures. He’s clearly got the talent to thrive at this level but just hasn’t pieced it together as he enters the halfway point of his third season. But for the time being, conversations about Fields’ NFL success or lack thereof are tabled.
Fields is currently nursing a thumb injury and has missed the last two Chicago starts, with backup Tyson Bagent (somewhat) admirably filling in. On Sunday night against the Los Angeles Chargers, an animated Fields had an interesting get-up on the Chicago Bears sideline. He, of course, had all the classic Bears gear adorned but with one notable addition — deep and dark sunglasses under the Los Angeles night sky. (Also, the Chargers’ stadium has a roof.)
It was frankly a little bizarre to see Fields with this sunglasses fit, inadvertently paying homage to Corey Hart’s musical tribute to looking silly indoors:

Naturally, with Fields shading his eyes so he can watch us weave and then breathe our storylines, NFL fans all made the same joke roasting the Bears quarterback.
We only hope he could see the light that’s right before his eyes.
This was how Twitter reacted to Fields' sunglasses look
