The drive went 80 yards on 10 plays and lasted a little over 6 minutes. It cut the Packers’ lead to 17-14 before Aaron Rodgers reminded the Bears that he still exists with a touchdown of his own.
Going back to Fields, he finished that drive going 5-for-5 with 64 yards passing and he also had 1 rush for 14 yards as well.
For the game, he finished with 174 yards passing with 1 touchdown and 1 interception. Chicago wasn’t able to keep up its early success for the rest of the game after leading 7-0 going into the 2nd quarter and lost, 24-14.
Despite that, Fields continued to progress and show that he has the makings of being a strong NFL quarterback.
