Assuming Fields is back next week, he will have to face some pretty good defenses. First number is team defense by total yards given up and the second number is team defense by passing yards given up.
Detroit #9/#20 Minnesota #13/#16 Detroit #9/#20 Cleveland #1/#1 Atlanta #8/#10 Arizona #22/#11 Green Bay #11/#7
Detroit will be a tough match up because they have pass rushers, good run D, and will be playing with the lead most likely.
Minnesota’s aggressive blitzing gave Fields trouble.
Cleveland is the toughest defense the Bears will play all year.
Atlanta and Green Bay have top 10 pass defense and Arizona is #11 in pass defense.
Fields best chance to put up a good performance will be next week against Detroit but we still don’t know how healed his thumb is yet. After the 2 Detroit games it’s a rough 4 games to close out the season.
Yep, here it comes.
I don’t understand it. Hasn’t fields started over 30 games? Why is now going to be different? Was the problem his thumb was not dislocated?
It’s always something. If this excuse comes out then I guess the answer is he is just a bum slayer and sucks vs good teams.
Caleb Williams seems to have a bit of that, it’s made me nervous about drafting him.
Fields is going to end up like Henry Rowengartner after the broken arm. His newly-fixed thumb now provides him perfect spin and pinpoint accuracy on every throw.
It won’t be different
Because young QBs develop and can break out. Development isn’t linear. This isn’t new.
