GREEN BAY, Wis. — The Bears’ trick play on their first possession Sunday was a lie. What felt like the start of a memorable game against their dominant rival instead served as a prelude to a forgettable offensive performance by quarterback Justin Fields.
An offense that was stuck in the Soldier Field mud in the season opener played like that on the much drier turf at Lambeau Field during a 27-10 loss to the Packers. It reminded the Bears what they must have known entering the season: If they’re going to win games, they can’t do it by hoping Fields can race Aaron Rodgers to 30 points. Or even 20.
