Bears Meet Bucs After Tough Loss In Week 6
Last week, the Bears started strong against the Green Bay Packers, but the offense then struggled and did not score again until the fourth quarter.
The Packers won the game by a score of 24-14.
Fields is learning as he goes but the Bears offense has struggled to create and maintain any momentum.

Fields knows this needs to change.
After the Packers loss, he said:
“That’s one big difference I’m starting to find out is you’ve got to put drives together rather than just have a good play here, have a good play there. I mean, because if you have a bad play in college, it’s easy to get that yardage you just lost the next play. Where in the NFL, it’s not as easy…So just putting good plays together back to back and just creating more drives that create more momentum and just get us more in a rhythm.”
Fields is learning on the job in this two-week period by watching two of the best ever do it for the Bears’ opponents.
Last week, he watched Aaron Rodgers in action and this week he has Tom Brady to study.
Fields vs. Brady is also a battle of Ohio State vs. Michigan alumni; something that has Michigan grad Tom Brady has never encountered in his long career.
Tom Brady will play an Ohio State QB for the first time in his career when he faces Justin Fields and the Bears on Sunday.
And of course, his response to what took so long was A+ 😂 pic.twitter.com/B4dltR6CUC

As for Brady’s Bucs, they have a two-win lead on both the New Orleans Saints and Carolina Panthers in the NFC South.
