Fields had plenty of nice plays, but I picked this one because of the circumstances. Fields had opened his first NFL appearance with three straight three-and-out drives, but he kept his composure to lead the Bears on a 42-yard drive over the final 45 seconds of the half to set up a field goal. On third-and-5 with 16 seconds to play, he rolled to his right and found Hardy “last minute,” completing the throw with pressure in his face. Fields also had a pretty 25-yard pass to Rodney Adams, who made a nice grab, on the Bears’ first touchdown drive in the third quarter. And he had exciting scrambles for an 8-yard touchdown and a 21-yard gain on the second touchdown drive. But the pass to Hardy, followed by an 8-yard pass to Jesse James, helped the Bears mentally heading into halftime, coach Matt Nagy said, and Fields’ day only got better from there.
