The Bears’ comeback fell short in Minneapolis, but their fight and heart earned them a feel-good report card with passing marks.
Thus, we deliver a feel-good report card after a tough-luck loss in Minnesota:Fields started the game 3-for-8, and it looked like we were headed for another stinker. Another week talking about wasted potential, the Bears curse, and questioning why general manager Ryan Poles didn’t address the offensive line or skill positions more in the offseason.
After halftime, Fields went 12-for-13 for 135 yards and a touchdown in the second half. He also rushed for 36 yards and had a 53-yard touchdown run nullified by an illegal block in the back by Ihmir Smith-Marsette. This was far and away the best game Justin Fields has played this season and perhaps in his young career.Given how bad the Vikings’ run defense had been to start the season, the prevailing thought entering Sunday’s game was that the Bears would find success on the ground.Running back David Montgomery returned after a one-game absence, but he only rushed for 20 yards on 12 carries. The fourth-year running back did four passes for 62 yards, though. Fields led the Bears in rushing with 47 yards.
But Eberflus and his staff adjusted, and the Bears’ defense only allowed 8 points in the second half. That's great, but it doesn't erase the first 18 minutes of the game.After getting gashed by Saquon Barkley and Daniel Jones in Week 4, it was fair to assume Dalvin Cook would run all over the Bears on Sunday.RELATED:
