Justin Fields

Justin Fields and the Bears are trying to make a comeback against the Cowboys in Week 8. This Micah Parsons fumble return didn't help.

Fields didn’t throw the ball that much, but he didn’t make mistakes with his arm and didn’t turn the ball over as part of an efficient performance. Chicago had actually trimmed a 28-7 deficit to 28-23 earlier in the second half, but Dallas responded with a quick touchdown drive and then got this Parsons fumble return right after that. [35-23](https://www.espn.com/nfl/boxscore/_/gameId/401437807), Bears running back David Montgomery hauled in a Fields pass and was fighting for a first down on third-and-long.

Bears coaches and teammates praise Fields' toughness. He needed it behind an offensive line that featured not a single projected starter from the first day ...

He needed it behind an offensive line that featured not a single projected starter from the first day of training camp. All-world linebacker Micah Parsons returned a David Montgomery fumble 36 yards for a touchdown with five minutes left in the third quarter, falling to the ground and getting up only after Fields leapt over him — and didn’t touch him. On the fifth one, Eddie Jackson intercepted a pass with 40 seconds left in the first half. In the second quarter, Fields even went into the blue injury tent, though he didn’t miss a snap. Fields went 17-for-23 for 151 yards, two touchdowns and a 120 passer rating, running eight times for 60 yards and another score. It was that kind of day for Fields, who was battered by an elite Cowboys defense and still managed 29 points behind a run-heavy offense that featured some deep shots.

The former Ohio State quarterback made a clear mental mistake against the Cowboys Sunday afternoon.

The difference with Harry is he has great hands. That TD catch is bound to get him on Justin Fields’ good side. The Bears’ primary issue at wide receiver this season is not having any guys that can make tough, contested catches. It appears one man is ready to stake his claim for [Justin Fields](https://www.sportsmockery.com/chicago-bears/ex-player-puts-justin-fields-in-same-conversation-as-former-mvp/)‘ attention.

The Cowboys continue to jump all over the defense and lead 28-7 close to the end of the second quarter. It was a nice response for the Bears but it could be all for not. 32 of those yards were thanks to Fields and his running ability as he had two big gains before dashing into the end zone for the three-yard touchdown.

Because, in what was a carbon copy of the Chicago Bears' first scoring drive last week, Justin Fields was up to his old tricks again.

The Fields TD run capped a 12-play, 75-yard scoring drive. And it was much needed after Dallas stormed out to a 14-0 first-quarter lead. WATCH: Justin Fields Scores the Bears’ First TD vs.

And I was digging Fields’ description of the offense, [saying that plays were built off each other](https://www.bleachernation.com/bears/2022/09/08/i-just-love-the-way-justin-fields-describes-luke-getsys-offense/).

Expect more of the same from the Chicago Bears today. Those are the types of fun things you’re going to see today. It seems as if the Chicago Bears may have found their winning formula for Justin Fields coming off what may have been the best game of his young career against the Patriots — 179 passing yards, 82 rushing yards.

Mac Jones and Justin Fields had interceptions wiped out by roughing the passer penalties, which is the way the NFL wants it.

Vincent also said that quarterbacks drive ratings, and that’s why the NFL is going to protect the quarterback. Because in Article 11 [of the rulebook], this is the one rule – and we have a ton of rules – where the judgment you give the referee, that white hat, is the latitude to call that play in real time. NFL EVP of Football Operations Troy Vincent recently said as much after controversial roughing calls against Chris Jones of the Chiefs and Grady Jarrett of the Faocons.
