With the run game working fairly well, it made sense to lean on it and sprinkle in a few high-percentage passes when the game tilted Washington’s way.

On the next Bears series, they drove to the 1, and Fields’ overthrow to a wide-open Ryan Griffin on second and goal was far more egregious an error than [Khalil Herbert](https://www.nfl.com/players/khalil-herbert/)getting stuffed at the goal line on fourth down. But he also misfired on throws and was at least partially guilty of once again holding on to the ball too long.
