Justin Fields’ growing comfort level shows in Bears defeat
Associated PressLAKE FOREST, Ill. — Justin Fields and the Chicago Bears’ passing game carried the offense Sunday for the first time this season in a 29-22 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. “I’m just starting to figure out you just try to play within your own rhythm, the way you know how to play and stay calm in the pocket.” Bears receivers have been inconsistent, but now Fields’ top two targets, wide receiver Darnell Mooney and tight end Cole Kmet, are making bigger impacts. “I can’t control what people see, but the passing game is really getting on a roll, so it can be really, really good,” Montgomery said. The backup, who was cut by Minnesota and signed just before the season in Chicago, had his first significant playing time in the offense Sunday and had the ball stolen away from behind by Cameron Dantzler at the Vikings 39 on the final Bears’ drive to decide the game.
