The Chicago Bears offense poured it on in the first quarter of their preseason opener against the Tennessee Titans. Following a screen pass from Justin Fields to D.J. Moore that went for a score on their first drive, the Bears found a way to score again on another long catch and run on the next series.
On the Bears’ second possession facing a third-and-long, Fields spun out of a would-be sack to find Herbert wide open. With downfield blocking from linemen like Cody Whitehair, Herbert took the pass 56 yards all the way to the house to put the Bears up 14-7.

The long score was the final play for Fields, who finished the day 3-for-3 with 129 yards and two touchdowns. Though he didn’t throw the ball downfield, it was a successful opener for the third-year quarterback.
Midway through the second quarter, the Bears lead the Titans 14-14 at Soldier Field.
