All and all, this was an inconsistent performance by Fields. His WRs clearly didn't help him out as much as they could have but he needs to pull the trigger a bit faster on some of these throws and/or get out of the pocket and to the boundary where he can run or draw the D in and throw over the top of them. Still a lot to learn for him but the good thing is when it counted he didn't fold and made just enough plays to win.
Pass 1 - Good plant and throw. WR needs to come back to the ball a bit more.
Run 1 - Thought this was a terrible spot and Fields should have had the 1st down.
Run 2 - Looks like Fields sees the underneath guy late and decides not to throw but probably could have just dumped this off to Willaims for a decent gain. In any event, he still gets positive yards on this with the run.
Pass 2 - Good read and throw here.
Sack 1 - Ball has to come out. Fields is at the end of the drop and has any number of options here really as he has one on ones across the board. Instead he sits there too long waiting for someone to get more separation instead of just picking a target and throw them open.
Pass 3 - Got bailed out by the refs that called this complete and in bounds but Fields should throw this a bit lower.
Pass 4 - Again he waits too late on this and quite frankly has a running lane. He really should have gotten out of the pocket on this one and then watched to see if the defender closes down on him or stays on their man especially since if he had scrambled to the left, he had Graham out there on a DB.
Run 3 - Good run and spin move here. Actually thought there were 2 other chances from him to keep it on this play and this was actually the best defended of the 3 options. I wonder if the Bears saw that the Bengals crashed down the other two times and thus called this ago but Fields committed a bit too early to keep it.
Pass 5 - This was a great throw by Fields but also would have been a tough catch by Mooney as it is a bit high for him. Just one of those plays where no one is really at fault but you would like to see Mooney find a way to come down with this.
Run 4 - This is where you see Fields learning. Think he realized he was staying in the pocket too long and so on this one he scrambled and got positive yards.
Sack 2 - Pressure comes to fast for Fields to do much here but this is a TD saving and game saving recovery most likely as 55 was about to scoop it up and run it in for a TD. Fields though didn't give up on the play and knocks the ball out as 55 was going to scoop it up.
Pass 6 - Simple pass but one of the few times the Bears WRs actually helped fields out.
Pass 7 - One of Fields better reads and throws of the day. This was similar to the one Fields and Mooney missed on earlier.
Run 5 - Nothing there so good scramble by Fields.
Pass 8 - Thought this was a poor effort by ARob. Didn't get elevated enough to shield the defender from the bell. ARob sort of drifts back as he jumps instead of jumping straight up in the air.
Pass 9 - Another brain fart by ARob. This is a beautiful pass and should have been caught for a TD.
Pass 10 - Basic checkdown to Mooney.
Run 6 - Decent scramble that may have gone for a TD if Graham had decided to block someone. Please cut him.
Pass 11 - Thought he should have thrown this a half sec earlier but Mooney should come down with this.
Pass 12 - He clearly doesn't see the defender dropping back after faking the rush. Gotta learn to pay attention to stuff like this.
Pass 13 - Basic checkdown.
Run 7 - Great scramble to save the game for the Bears.
