You never know. He’s going to be a real solid kid and a real good quarterback.” He’s trying to get it done any way possible, whether it’s using his arm, running — he’s just trying to get it done. Twice he got away. What was most impressive was how Fields managed to dazzle despite being down his top four receivers and best offensive lineman (Teven Jenkins). Not to mention, all while coming under immense fire (to the tune of six sacks) by a dominant Philly front. When his time comes, it’s not going to be a shock to me when everybody sees how good he is.

With [DeVonta Smith](https://theathletic.com/nfl/player/devonta-smith-rRK5EifpLOPY5iRv/) totaling 126 receiving yards, the Bears allowed two receivers to go over 120 yards for the first time since 2014 (Rob Gronkowski and Brandon LaFell, Patriots).

Fields survived six sacks against the Eagles on Sunday. But with the finish line to a rebuilding season in sight, the Bears have to make sure Fields is ...

The Bears taking care of Fields is a much bigger one. The Bills also are one of the NFL’s best defenses — second in points allowed and ninth in yards allowed — but 13th in sacks per pass play. Jenkins’ status is in doubt after the injury and it’s likely Schofield will start against the Bills. That’s one reason why the Bears acquired Reiff in the first place — he’s a proven veteran with enough experience to hold his own. Not only that, but the Bears inserted Alex Leatherwood at right tackle in a rotation with veteran Riley Reiff. It’s a legitimate concern after Fields was sacked six times for 61 yards in losses in a 25-20 loss to the Eagles on Sunday at Soldier Field.
