Bears quarterback Justin Fields was perfect — literally — in the first half of Sunday’s game against the Broncos.
Fields completed 16-of-17 passes for 231 yards and three touchdowns for a perfect 158.3 passer rating. Fields’ only incompletion was on a Hail Mary attempt.
Fields broke an all-time Bears record for most consecutive completions with 16. That surpassed the previous record set by Shane Matthews, who had 15 against the Patriots on Dec. 10, 2000.
Here’s how NFL fans reacted to Fields’ impressive first-half performance against the Broncos:
The Broncos are an abysmal defensive team, so you have to take everything Chicago is doing right now with a grain of salt.
THAT SAID:
Justin Fields has made several honest-to-God big boy throws to all parts of the field, including WITH timing and under pressure. He needed this.

Absolutely unbelievable first half offense from the Bears. Justin Fields was immaculate (so many explosive plays!) and guys just looked so wide open down the field. Making ESB active for his blocking assignment over Claypool might have salvaged the season. #DaBears

Every Chicago #Bears fan, regardless of your position on Justin Fields, should be rooting your heart out for this kid, to be the franchise!

This is the best I have seen Justin Fields in the NFL! I was a fan of his at TOSU!! They will get 6 wins with DJ Moore. They get the Carolina Panthers pick. They arent tanking!! Fields is way better than the Duke QB!!!!

Now THIS is the Justin Fields I was expecting to see in Year 3.
He’s been lighting it up so far in this one. Decisive and accurate with a cannon arm. It’s night and day. #Bears
