Justin Fields

The Lions' offense mauled the Bears' defense from the opening kickoff, and Fields could not conjure up the magic needed to keep the game close.

Entering Sunday, the Lions had 30 sacks in their first 15 games. Fields went 7-for-21 for just 75 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. But that's not how 2023 started for head coach Matt Eberflus, Justin Fields, and the Bears. With the offense spinning its wheels, the Bears’ needed their defense to step up and keep them in the game. Fields rushed for 113 yards on six carries in the first half against the Lions, including a blistering 60-yard scamper that got the Bears down to the Lions’ 9-yard line. After rushing for just 11 yards on seven carries in Week 16 against the Buffalo Bills, Fields returned to his running ways in the first half against the Lions.
