The Chicago Bears organization has experienced a hectic 48 hours. Despite all the recent events, they still have a game against the defending champions this Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs. Patrick Mahomes, widely regarded as the NFL’s top quarterback, opened up regarding Justin Fields. When someone of Mahomes caliber speaks, it’s easyto pay close attention. He provided advice to Fields, the Bears third-year quarterback, and had some very positive words of praise for him.
“Trust your talent. Trust your instincts. He’s here for a reason. He’s made a lot of big plays happen in the NFL and college. Just trusting in your instincts and then go out there be the player you’ve always been — just not against us hopefully.”
It’s All On Justin Fields Now
Yesterday, when Justin Fields spoke, he clearly set a new direction for himself. Even though both he and the Chicago Bears insist that everything is okay, he made it clear that he wants to play the game his way. In the long run, we will likely view that press conference as a pivotal moment in his career, and whether it turns out positively or negatively remains to be seen. What’s intriguing is that Patrick Mahomes encouraged Fields to do precisely what Fields talked about: simply focus on playing the game, trusting his instincts, and believing in himself. We’ll soon find out if he can execute this approach in this week’s game, and it feels like he needs to if he wants to quiet the noise around the franchise.
