The Bears lost a terrible game Thursday night. Somehow, someway, they didn’t lose Justin Fields. I’m still trying to figure out how he escaped serious injury.
Whatever this is — sources are calling it “football” — it’s not sustainable if the goal is for the quarterback to survive. The Bears fell 12-7 to Washington in a brutally bad performance by both teams. Fields ran the ball a lot. The Commanders hit him a lot. Better and smarter teams are going to figure out that Fields’ first through seventh instincts is to run, thanks to a bad offensive line and weak receivers.
