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.

    That averages out to the 12th strongest passing defense. Somewhat better than average for sure but it’s not like he’s facing all top 10 teams
