On Sunday, the Chicago Bears pulled off an unexpected victory against the Detroit Lions with a final score of 28-13. The key to their success was simply playing complementary football. Notably, the defense played a crucial role once again. Second-year safety Jaquan Brisker stood out with an impressive performance, racking up 17 total tackles, including 13 solo tackles. This marked the highest total tackles for a Bears safety since 1960. During the game, there was a noteworthy moment captured by the cameras, showcasing an interaction between Brisker and quarterback Justin Fields.
Brisker noticed my tweet, quoted it, and said, “That’s my guy.” As for the comments exchanged on the sideline, it’s hard to pinpoint exactly what Brisker said to Justin. However, Fields responded by saying something like, “You know I got your back.” This interaction occurred after Fields cashed in on a free play (from his cadence) that resulted with a touchdown pass to DJ Moore on the go route.
Justin Fields is a leader on this team.
Justin Fields exceptional leadership often goes unnoticed. As a key player on this youthful Chicago Bears team, he plays a pivotal role in their developing core. Considering the team’s recent success with two consecutive wins, disrupting this dynamic in the off-season might negatively impact morale. Currently, the Bears have an outside chance for the final wild card spot. The outcome of the next four games will significantly influence Justin Fields’ future. The roller coaster ride continues, but it will certainly be an exciting ride ahead.
