Fields took over to start the 3rd quarter and has once again played well. He has dropped in a couple of beautiful deep throws with his receivers failing to secure a couple of them.
Early in the 4th quarter, Fields was driving with the Bears when Buffalo had a free rusher coming off the edge. Fields did not pick him up and was leveled, taking a helmet-to-helmet hit that was flagged for a personal foul:

Fields was able to stay in the game with the penalty keeping Chicago’s drive alive. The next play was a handoff that went for a touchdown.
