If the Bears are looking for reasons to justify sticking with Justin Fields and holding out hope he can be their franchise quarterback, he didn’t give them much Sunday.
Fields and the offense were a wreck in the Bears’ 20-17 loss to the Browns. He completed 19 of 40 passes (his fifth-worst completion percentage as a starter) and managed 166 yards (third-lowest this season). It’s unlikely general manager Ryan Poles could watch that and be satisfied with where his team sits at quarterback.
