The start of the Matt Eberflus era has begun. While it’s the first preseason game, there are plenty of reasons to be excited. The Bears’ defense was productive and embodied the tenacity and hustle the new coach demands. The offense remains a work in progress, but there’s reason to be hopeful about the talent on the roster.
Quarterback Justin Fields only played three series but completed 4-of-7 passes for 48 yards, including two highlight-reel throws to receivers Darnell Mooney and Tajae Sharpe along the sideline. Unfortunately, Fields continued to hold the ball too long and took two sacks during his time in the game. He’ll need to clean that up, but the good news is the offensive line turned in a good day.
