Fields throws TD passes to Moore and Herbert as the Bears beat the Titans 23-17
Associated PressCHICAGO — Justin Fields insisted long completions are coming. Fields threw touchdown passes to prized newcomer DJ Moore and Khalil Herbert on Chicago’s first two possessions, then watched as the Bears beat the Tennessee Titans 23-17 in the teams’ preseason opener Saturday. “After a period of time where we keep completing those little short passes,” Fields said, “they start blitzing more, pressuring, playing more man coverage, that’s when those deep shots just naturally happen.” The Bears envisioned big plays in the passing game when they acquired Moore in a blockbuster trade with the Carolina Panthers. They turned short passes into sprints to the end zone against a second-string defense after Tennessee’s Malik Willis led the Titans on a 75-yard touchdown drive to start the game. He had the Titans on the Chicago 10 near the end of the game, but the Bears’ Barrington Wade broke up his fourth-down pass to Gavin Holmes in the back of the end zone.
