Bears defense pushed around, but arrow pointing up for Justin Fields, offense
New York TimesIn the peculiar glow of a blowout loss, we should keep in mind the Cowboys’ 49-29 victory over the Bears easily could have been more lopsided if Cowboys defensive end Chauncey Golston was not penalized for roughing the passer on a Justin Fields interception with 57 seconds remaining in the first half. • The irony of Fields’ hop over Micah Parsons: there might not be a better-suited player on the Bears offense to tackle an opponent after a turnover than Fields. Without Fields’ projected 901 rushing yards, the Bears would have the 42nd-most productive running game in history and the third best in team history.
