Chicago Bears QB Justin Fields begins big season with lackluster performance in loss to Green Bay

Associated Press  

CHICAGO — A big season for Justin Fields got off to a rough start Sunday. Fields lost a fumble and threw an interception as the Chicago Bears fell apart in the second half of an ugly 38-20 loss to the Green Bay Packers. “I think that’s what we’re going to do.” Fields accounted for 275 of Chicago’s 311 yards, but his interception was returned 37 yards by Quay Walker for a touchdown with 12:36 left. So I’ve just got to learn from it.” Stepping into a more prominent role after David Montgomery signed with Detroit in free agency, Khalil Herbert had nine carries for 27 yards. “We put ourselves behind on offense a bunch of times and I think that’s why the third downs were not what we expected them to be,” coach Matt Eberflus said.
