Justin Fields Walks Back Comments About Coaching, Argues Initial Remarks Misrepresented

The drama within the Bears organization doesn’t appear to be going away anytime soon. Amid the team’s 0–2 start to the season, quarterback Justin Fields has been harshly criticized for his play. When talking to reporters Wednesday, he appeared to blame coaching as part of the reason for his struggles. 

Just hours later, he walked back those same comments and said they were taken out of context. 

“When you take my quote out of context, and when you just say that, if you paint the picture on the inside out, y’all are trying to split us up at the seams,” he told reporters. “I’m not blaming anything on the coaches. I’m never gonna blame anything on the coaches, I’m never gonna blame anything on my teammates.”
